Orange self-saucing pudding

Orange self-saucing pudding is a delightful dessert that combines a moist and tender cake with a tangy, sweet orange sauce. This citrus-infused treat is perfect for any occasion, offering a burst of fresh orange flavor in every bite. Easy to prepare and bake, it's a wonderful way to end a meal or to enjoy as a midday snack.

Ingredients:

1 cup self-raising flour
150g
2/3 cup sugar
130g
2 tbsp orange zest
30g
1/4 cup butter
54g
1 cup orange juice
230g
1 egg
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Lightly grease a 1.5-liter (1.5-quart) baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, sugar, and orange zest. Stir well to ensure the zest is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, orange juice, and the egg until fully combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pudding dense.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
7. Create the Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup (230g) of additional orange juice with 1/4 cup (50g) of sugar. Gently pour this mixture over the batter. It will sink to the bottom and form the sauce as the pudding bakes.
8. Bake:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and firm to touch.
9. Cool and Serve:
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. The pudding will be soft and spongy on top with a luscious orange sauce underneath. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Tips:

- Use fresh oranges for the juice and zest to maximize the citrus flavor.

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before mixing to blend smoothly with the other ingredients.

- When mixing the batter, avoid overmixing as it can lead to a dense pudding.

- Bake the pudding in a water bath to help the sauce form properly at the bottom while keeping the top light and fluffy.

- Check the consistency of the sauce by inserting a skewer into the pudding; if it comes out clean but there is a layer of sauce at the bottom, it's done.

With its gorgeously moist texture and zesty tang, Orange self-saucing pudding is sure to impress your family and friends. The self-saucing nature of this pudding makes it unique and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Follow these tips to achieve a perfect balance between the pudding and the sauce, and enjoy the rich, citrusy goodness in every bite!
