This recipe is even nicer with the addition of 10 fl oz of hot black coffee, with 2 oz castor sugar instead of just boiled water. Pour over the pudding mixture carefully then bake 325F for 50-60 mins. Absolutely scrumptious!
What a great idea Libby!
If baking in a oven (I didn’t have a microwave safe dish big enough); bake for 15-20 mins at 220°C in a fan forced oven.
Absolutely delicious!!! Thank yooooou!
