Equipment

  • 8"x8" Cake Pan

Ingredients
  

Sauce

  • 2 Oranges zest and juice
  • ¾ Cup Water
  • ¾ Cup White Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. Butter

Cake

  • ¼ Cup Butter room temperature
  • ½ Cup White Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Cup White Flour
  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • ¼ tsp. Salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.

Sauce

  • In a small saucepan, combine zest and juice of two oranges, ¾ cup of water, ¾ cup of white sugar, and 1 Tbsp. of butter. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for five minutes.

Cake

  • Combine the ¼ cup of butter and ½ cup of white sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on medium speed until creamed.
  • Add the egg to the creamed butter. Mix on medium until combined.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt to the mixing bowl. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  • With the mixer running, slowly pour the milk into the batter. Mix until smooth.

Assembly

  • Pour the sauce into an 8"x 8" baking dish (or equivalent sized casserole dish).
  • Spoon the batter over the sauce, doing your best to spread it evenly.
  • Bake the pudding at 350° for 30-35 minutes, until the cake is golden brown and springs back lightly when poked. Allow it to cool 15 minutes. Best enjoyed warm!

Notes

To bake this in a 9" x 13", or equivalent casserole dish, simply double the recipe and increase the baking time by five minutes.
