  I found there were far too many prunes! Ended up snacking on them and getting slightly tiddly on the brandy they'd been steeped in. So not complaining! This was a nice dessert, but I think I've had better chocolate fixes - I'd probably look for a different recipe next time I'm after a chocolate-based pudding.

  This is a fabulous recipe - works equally well with canned or bottled cherries - I've also made it with dried apricots soaked in brandy -- yum yum

  Just about to make this, but is it possible to use self-raising flower instead? Or will the cake turn out very different? Thanks
