Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish.
-
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually fold in the self-raising flour until well combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to achieve a smooth consistency.
-
In a separate small bowl, warm the golden syrup in the microwave for a few seconds until it becomes more fluid.
-
Pour half of the golden syrup into the bottom of the greased baking dish, creating a generous layer of sweetness.
-
Carefully spoon the sponge mixture over the syrup in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
Drizzle the remaining golden syrup over the top of the sponge mixture, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
-
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the sponge is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
