Syrup Pudding with Ginger & Orange

Pudding is an Anglo-Saxon term referring to a steamed or cooked cake. You could also call it a poached cake. Syrup pudding is a rather light, sweet cake, a bit sticky as well. I regularly make this cake for winter dinners, with lots of ginger and orange. Nothing beats eating it straight from the bowl while it’s still warm and covered in cold unsweetened cream. It’s an unbelievably easy-to-make Xmas dessert. If you put it in the oven just before dinnertime you’ll have more than enough
