The Magical Cream Caramel Cake "kudrit kader"

What would be more delicious and mouth watering than a lemon pound cake? The answer would be a lemon cake with creme caramel. One of the masterminds of dessert recipes came up with a way to mix them both together in one dish. So you can enjoy the fluffy and fresh taste of lemon cake with the rich taste of creme caramel. This cake is from the Mediterranean cuisine. It's called kudrit kader, which means made by a miracle. It got that name because you mix the creme caramel and the cake ingredients in one dish and somehow the creme caramel goes on bottom and the cake goes on top. Contrary to what you might think, it's easy and fast to make. You will actually enjoy making it and most of all eating it. If you wish you can also use this recipe to only make Creme Caramel with its delicious sugar syrup. This recipe goes back to school days, as a little girl back then, I watched my mom (my great model) making this cake. The magic that happened inside the oven, made me fall in love with this recipe, and sparkle the passion for cooking and baking inside me, Maybe this was the 1st recipe that I mastered. From that day until now every time I make this, people ask for the recipe. So here we go...
