Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
• unsalted butter for greasing pan
Pudding
• 2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 cups day-old Italian or French bread, cut in 1-inch cubes

Raspberry Sauce
• 1 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
• 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Directions
Grease a Dutch oven or 9" X 12" baking pan and set aside.
Bring milk just to a boil, remove from heat, and stir in granulated sugar. Add nutmeg and vanilla and let cool for 10 minutes. Whisk in eggs.
In a separate bowl, toss bread cubes with melted butter. Pour bread mixture into Dutch oven or pan and spoon berries over top. Pour milk-and-egg mixture over bread mixture.
Bake in Dutch oven or in 350°F conventional oven for 1 hour, until set and starting to brown. Let cool. Dust with 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar.
Make raspberry sauce: Push the remaining 1 cup raspberries through a sieve. Mix resulting juice with 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved. Pour sauce over the cake and serve cake with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
