Recipe Reviews
So easy and so good. My track record is poor for puddings, maybe because I don’t have a sweet tooth and my heart isn’t in it. Anyway cooked this for my 4 (big) sons tonight and it was absolutely delicious and served 6 of us comfortably. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
Yes a quick and easy recipe, it was very tasty I halved the ingredients as it was only for the two of us, added more golden syrup as suggested and it worked fine.
Amazing. Would use more golden syrup next time
Really good! Best microwave sponge recipe I've tried by far.
The syrup came up through the sponge and disappeared from the bottom , maybe my microwave is too strong so I’ll cook it for a minute less next time as I did like the sponge texture
Super speedy and delicious.
