Pudding Chomeur
When asked about a dessert reflecting my heritage, a few came to mind but this one somehow means more to me about the heritage. If you translate the name to this dessert it means pudding of the unemployed.
This dessert was created by female factory workers during the Great Depression in Quebec, Canada. Back then the dessert was made with stale bread, in modern times it is made with a cake batter.

You can serve straight, best is hot, and if you really have a sweet tooth and don’t mind the risk of sugar overload, serve with ice cream.
Have fun and make it your own.
