- 3Let the pudding mixture rest for 4 minutes, then cover it with plastic wrap and chill while you make the cake.
- 4Combine the remaining 1 cup of milk and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup, and heat in the microwave in 1-minute intervals until the butter is completely melted and the milk is steaming.
