- Pour the batter into a greased and floured deep loaf pan.
- Mix the remaining ingredients and pour over the batter.
- Bake until the cake is done and has its own sauce.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the batter. If you don’t have raisins, chopped dried apricots or cranberries can be a delightful substitute. Ensure your loaf pan is well-greased to prevent sticking, and for a more moist pudding, you can slightly increase the milk. This recipe is reminiscent of American recipes that focus on comfort and simplicity.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pudding warm, drizzled with a bit of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat. It also pairs beautifully with a dollop of Judy'S Fruit Dip for a refreshing contrast. Enjoy it as a cozy dessert after a hearty winter meal or alongside a cup of tea.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but the texture might be denser. To balance this, consider adding a tablespoon of extra milk to maintain moisture.
How do I know when the pudding is done baking?
The pudding is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. It should also be golden brown on top and spring back when gently pressed.
Can I make this pudding ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the batter a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just remember to add the topping right before baking to ensure it remains fresh and has the best texture.
