Ingredients

75g Asda Best for Baking Cakes, plus extra to grease

170g tub Asda Authentic Greek Yogurt

120g golden syrup

2 large eggs

1 large orange, zested and flesh sliced

½tsp ground ginger

175g self-raising flour

1tsp baking powder

3tbsp Asda Ginger Preserve

4tbsp single cream, to serve (optional)

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease 6 individual pudding moulds, line each base with a disc of baking paper, then put in a deep roasting tin. Fill the kettle and bring to the boil.
2
Beat the Best for Baking Cakes, yogurt, 80g of the syrup, eggs, zest, ginger, flour and baking powder in a large bowl until smooth.
3
Stir the ginger preserve into the remaining syrup and spoon into the moulds; top with an orange slice.
4
Divide the batter between the moulds, leaving a 1cm gap at the top of each one. Tightly cover each pudding with foil. Pour boiling water into the tin around the moulds, until it’s 3cm up the sides.
5
Bake for 25-30 mins, until the sponges are risen and bounce back to the touch. Remove from the tin and cool for 10 mins. Run a round-bladed knife around the edge of each pudding, then turn out. Remove the paper from the tops; serve with cream (optional).
