Article: Pudding cake has become chef's bread and butter

`This dessert is great for the holidays because it's so delicious, it's ridiculous," said John Terczak. "It's cheap, easy to make and you can do it ahead of time. It doesn't require special ingredients. It's very home style, an elevated version of usually heavy bread pudding, with a crisp top and souffle-like center."

After one bite (and another, and another . . .) of bread and butter pudding cake with caramel sauce, it's easy to catch Terczak's enthusiasm.

With the mastery of a culinary alchemist, Terczak, executive chef of Biggs, 1150 N. Dearborn, transforms ordinary supermarket sandwich bread into a dessert worthy of the finest dinner party.
