This pudding is just the ticket in winter! I truly love the way it is both comforting and refreshing. 

Serves 4 



Ingredients

70g butter, melted 

1 small-medium egg

1/3 cup regular white sugar 

1 orange

½ cup plain flour 

1 tsp baking powder

2 heaped tbsps ground almonds

1-2 tbsps milk, if needed



Sauce 

1 ½ cups boiling water

1/3 cup brown sugar, loosely packed

1 tablespoon butter 

Juice from remaining ½ orange

1 tsp cornflour 



Method

Preheat oven to180 C. Grease a small ovenproof dish.

In a bowl, whisk egg with sugar. Add in the melted butter & whisk. Blitz half the orange —skin and all— until it’s pulped then stir this in. Add in flour, baking powder and almonds. Stir until combined. Add in 1-2 tbsp milk if it’s too stiff. Scrape batter into the greased dish. In the batter bowl (scraped clean) mix the boiling water, brown sugar, butter, cornflour and juice from the remaining half orange. Gently pour this over the batter. Bake for 40 mins, or until cake bit is cooked through. 

Serve with ice cream or whipped cream. 



Make it your own 

Use any citrus – mandarin, lemon, tangerine

For very pithy fruit, use the skin and flesh of the orange but not all the pith – too bitter
