This fruity dessert recipe captures a hint of summer, brightening a mid-winter meal.
This pudding is rich in colour and perfect on a chilly evening. Prepare the batter a couple of hours ahead and place it in the oven while you enjoy your main course. You’ll be able to dine on the dish while it’s warm.
Serves 6
- Preheat the oven to 170C.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing through.
- Fold through the flour, cinnamon and milk, stirring to form the batter.
- Drain the plums, reserving half a cup of juice. Halve and remove the stones from the plums. Place them with the juice in an ovenproof dish with the sliced ginger about 20 x 20 cm.
- Spoon the batter on to the plums in blobs. It will spread as it cooks. Place into the oven for 40 minutes until the sponge is cooked through.
- Serve warm, dusted with icing sugar and ice cream or whipped cream to finish.
