  So easy, all the family loved it. Needs the chocolate sauce or cream to enjoy it at its best.

  I assume the steaming time is one and a quarter hours, or 1hr 15 minutes. At least that's what is said at the top of the recipe.

  Vicky made this pudding and the italian tuna balls with spaghetti. We managed to find a plastic bowl with a lid which was just the right size to cook the pudding. We found it easy to make and to eat. We would make it agian.

  Gorgeous, gooey and so easy! I'd double the amount of sauce, though.

  A nice easy family pudding, not too rich and really easy to make. If you use a plastic pudding bowl and lid you don't need to bother with buttering or paper (get them from websites selling bowls for making christmas puddings). I used white chocolate for the sauce because that's what I had handy and it made a lovely creamy sauce and looked good against the dark pudding. A bit of orange zest might be a nice addition??

  UN-BELIEVABLE! This is absolutely dreamy. I made double the quantity of of sauce (and made it with Dairy Milk chocolate as I am not a fan of dark chocolate). The sponge is so light and fluffy and the sauce is amazing. I did thicken it with a bit of cornflour and milk, but that's just personal preference. Will most definitely make it again.

  I looked forward to trying this, because of the delicious-sounding mix of flavours. Having tried it, the cake was certainly tasty, but I'm not convinced that the spicy sponge and chocolate sauce go together that well. It's certainly interesting, I can see why it's a family favourite, although won't be mine. Next time, I'll try with orange liquer-soaked sultanas in the sponge, use light muscovado instead of dark, and use maya gold for the chocolate sauce.

  Made this yesterday for pudding and it was really yummy. I did omit the cinnamon, only because I like my choc cakes/deserts to be uncomplicated. My first experience of steaming a pudding and I don't think that it will be my last. Delish.

  if you really want to cheat this worked fabulously covered in clingfilm and 6 mins in the microwave, no steaming required and was really tasty. I didnt do the sauce just melted some dark chocolate and stirred through custard makes a lovely rich chocolate custard which my kids love
