Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh pawpaw pulp mash it through a colander to get the big brownseeds out
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups Whole Milk
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a big bowl, whisk your eggs, milk, melted butter, and that precious orange pulp until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix your dry ingredients.
    Combine them gently—don't overwork it. Pour the batterinto a greased 9x13 baking dish and bake for about 50 minutes.
    You'll know it's done when the center is set, and the edges are golden-brown. Serve it warm witha little whipped cream.
