Ingredients
- 1 orange
- 1 small apple
- 115g butter
- 225g soft dark brown sugar

Procedure
- Zest and juice the orange. Peel, core and grate the apple.
- Cream the butter and sugar, add flour, eggs, nutmeg and cinnamon. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir thoroughly. The batter should have a gooey consistency.
- Pour batter into a pudding mould (or you could use 8 individual moulds), cover with baking parchment and tie tightly.
- Cook on shelf level 2 on Steam setting 3 at 99°C for 120 minutes.
TO SERVE
Serve the warm pudding with vanilla custard and garnished with edible berries, and perhaps a sprig of festive holly.
Chef's Secret
The classic pudding mould is hollow on the inside, allowing the cake to bake evenly. If you use a solid shape, extend the time up to 150 minutes.
