Sponge Pudding - cheap, easy and fast
Sophie's sponge pudding
This is so wonderfully easy and quick - I often do it for the kids, especially when their friends come round for tea. You can buy all the ingredients in an ordinary supermarket.
It's cheapest if you make the custard yourself, which you can also do in the microwave, with soya milk, custard powder (eg Birds) and sugar. Make enough so you can serve it with custard too, and use a large microwave-proof bowl so as not to make a mess of the microwave.

Ingredients
- Topping* slices of 1/2 an orange
- 3 Tsp jam
- Sponge* 180g plain flour (or more if mixture is very sticky and wet)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 100g soya dessert, custard or soya yogurt (eg strawberry or vanilla), or you can even get away with just soya milk and some vanilla essence
- 3 Tsp jam (so the recipe uses 6 Tsp of jam altogether)
- 25ml oil
- juice of 1/2 a medium sized orange
Method
- arrange orange slices in one layer at bottom of a medium pudding basin or other microwave-proof dish
- roughly spread jam on top
- mix all other ingredients in another bowl and place on top of orange and jam
- loosely cover with a plate and microwave on full power for 4-5 minutes until a skewer comes out clean if prodded in the middle of the pudding
- Leave to cool for a few minures, tip out onto a plate and serve warm with soya custard, cream or ice cream (e.g. Swedish Glace)
Notes
This recipe also works well with chunks of dark bitter chocolate in the mix or topping, and/or chopped fresh ginger in the sponge mixture.
