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.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Lightly grease a 1.5-liter (1.5-quart) baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
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.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, orange juice, and the egg until fully combined.
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.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
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.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and firm to touch.
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!
