Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Place the caster sugar, eggs and apricot jam in a large mixing bowl and beat until pale and fluffy. In a separate bowl, sift the cake flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt, then whisk to incorporate.
  2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat, then stir in the vinegar and milk, mixing until combined. Add the dry mixture to the sugar-andegg mixture and combine. Add the buttery milk mixture and whisk until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Grease a large ovenproof dish and pour in the mixture. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden in colour and a skewer inserted comes out clean. Pour the sauce over the warm pudding and serve with custard.
  4. To make the sauce, place all the ingredients (cream, butter, treacle sugar and sherry)  in a saucepan over a medium heat and stir until the butter is melted, the sugar dissolved and the sauce heated through.
