Ingredients
FOR THE SPONGE
75g
butter, melted, plus extra to grease
250g
self-raising flour
125g
light brown soft sugar
1tsp.
vanilla extract
1
medium egg
150ml
milk, at room temperature
FOR THE SAUCE
75g
light brown soft sugar
1Tbsp.
cornflour
50g
butter, chopped
100g
white chocolate, roughly chopped
75ml
golden rum, see intro
Directions
Step 1Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4 and grease a rough 2.5 litre ovenproof serving dish. For the sponge, in a large bowl mix the flour and sugar. In a jug, whisk the melted butter, vanilla, egg and milk until combined.
Step 2Pour the milk mixture into the flour bowl and mix until smooth. Scrape into the prepared dish and smooth to level.
Step 3For the sauce, in a small bowl mix the sugar and cornflour until combined. Scatter over the top of the sponge batter.
Step 4In a medium pan, heat the butter, chocolate, rum and 250ml just-boiled water from a kettle, stirring until bubbling and smooth. Gently pour over the back of a dessert spoon on to the sponge batter (to help prevent making a hole in the pudding).
Step 5Bake for 35-40min, or until risen and golden. Leave to cool for 5min, then serve with cream or ice cream, if you like.
