Magic Pudding???

[CaptainChao5]

Can anyone please remind me what the name of the 80s desert was that was bascially two packets of mixture - one sponge, the other sauce. You just added water and baked. During the cooking time, the sauce sank to the bottom and the sponge rose to the top.

Thanks

Ah - Magic Pudding. No idea about a packet version but I have a choccy one which work the same way which you have to make from scratch - but well worth it.

4 oz SR flour, marg, and sugar. 2 level tabspns cocoa (mixed with the flour) 2 eggs or 1 egg and a little milk. Cream marg and sugar, add egg(s) and a few spoons flour mix. Stir in remaining flour. Put in ovenproof dish.

Blend 3 rounded tabspns cocoa and same of sugar. Sprinkle onto uncooked pud mix. Gently pour over 3/4 pint of boiling water. Bake 35-40 mins no.4 or 180.

Just the mention of this pud on a thread on ab once got me a marriage proposal!

the one you are thinking of is Saucy Sponge. I remember I was working in a supermarket as a saturday girl and my mum had seen it advertised and kept on at me to get one as soon as they got the new stock delivered.

Ooohh rabbity that sounds lovely - can you use drinking chocolate instead of cocoa do you think? Maybe then you wouln't need any sugar. I have neither sugar nor cocoa - come to think of it, i don't think I have self raising flour either - think I will need to go to the shops anyway!!!
