Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C/350F/Gas mark 4. Grease and flour an oval pudding dish or loaf tin approx. 20cm x 14cm x 5cm.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the sugar, butter, flour, eggs, lemon zest and vanilla extract until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Pour in the prepared dish and smooth off the top. Add 4 tbsp of the lemon curd across the top of the batter and swirl across the top. Place in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes. The top should be golden brown but the cake should still have a firm wobble.
  4. Before serving the pudding, heat the remaining lemon curd in the jar in the microwave or a small saucepan.
  5. Serve large spoonfuls of the pudding with a generous drizzle of hot lemon curd.

Hot Cross Bun Bread & Butter Pudding

April 02

With an abundance of hot cross buns at Easter time, this is the perfect way to use up any leftovers. If you prefer you can add additional raisins instead of the chocolate chips but I really like the chocolate hits you get when you add them in…it is Easter after all! You can also make this pudding with leftover brioche or whatever bread you have hanging around but it is particularly delicious when you use these spiced buns.
