- Butter and line the base of a 1.5-litre pudding basin with greaseproof paper. In a large bowl, stir the ingredients together, adding them one at a time in the order they are listed, until everything is completely mixed.
- Tip the pudding mix into the basin and cover with a circle of greaseproof paper. Place the pudding on a plate and microwave on Medium for 20-25 mins until cooked and an inserted skewer comes out clean. Leave to stand for 5 mins, then turn out and serve with brandy butter and cream.
Flaming your pudding
To flame the pudding, pour about 4 tbsp of brandy all over it. Then pour another tbsp into a large spoon. Carefully set light to this and pour onto the pudding so it starts to flame.
