Let me share with you a recipe from Pride and Pudding<\/a>, my debut book that was festively\u00a0launched\u00a0in London’s Borough Market<\/a> two weeks ago. There is also good news if you haven’t ordered the book yet! The Amazon editorial team has not only included Pride and Pudding in their ‘Books of the Month’ – this week it is also part of their ‘Deal of the Week’ which comes with a 50% discount only this week<\/em>. (Get it here ><\/a>) Meaning it will only set you back a tenner! It looks like sales are going splendid as I haven’t seemed to have lost my spot in the first 10 of the top 100 Bestsellers. As an author you do fear no one will buy your book. As do you fear bad reviews and negativity. So if you have a moment and you like the book, Amazon reviews do make a difference.<\/p>\n

Now back to the actual order of the day. Cabinet pudding was a favourite on Victorian tables, the first recipes for it appeared in the early 19th century, though similar puddings had been made long before then. It\u00a0is also sometimes called Newcastle pudding, diplomat pudding or Chancellor\u2019s\u00a0pudding, though the connection with politics isn\u2019t clear. Recipes also vary.\u00a0There are theories about the name but none seemed to hold much truth to them.<\/p>\n

Most recipes are\u00a0tipsy puddings \u2013 much like a trifle \u2013 with pieces of sponge cake or sometimes even plain\u00a0buttered bread or biscuits soaked in alcohol\u00a0layered with dried fruits and custard. These are placed\u00a0in a fancy mould and the pudding is then steamed.<\/p>\n

This makes for a very satisfying pudding, I must admit I’m game for any pudding containing decent booze. There’s just something about a alcohol soaked cake, especially when not overly sweet and softly steamed like this one. It is so moist, it really doesn’t need anything else, and it is better on the next day. The best result however is obtained when using a home made sponge cake, or one that you have purchased from an artisan bakery. This because the cake should not disintegrate, but hold all that alcoholic\u00a0liquid remaining quite in shape. But also because you can keep an eye on the sweetness, flavourings and other ingredients which are often added to keep the cake from going mouldy while it should actually just go stale.<\/p>\n

I like to search out good candied cherries for this pud, as it is a pudding I will not make on a plain old tuesday, I like to go the extra mile and make it as best as it could be. Don’t use those marashino cherries in a jar, just dry candied but still looking plump and juicy.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the ratafia biscuits needed, decent amaretti biscuits will do just fine. Or if you have stale\u00a0ratafia’s left over from another time, then of course those will work splendidly.<\/p>\n
