If you are looking for a new sweet treat to impress your guests with, then you have hit the jackpot. This marmalade pudding cake from TV chef Nigella Lawson is a total crowd-pleaser, and the to-die-for dessert is so easy to make that you do not need to be an experienced baker to attempt this recipe.
This pudding looks pretty simple on the surface but the delicate cacophony of tastes will leave any guests you have over to enjoy it begging for you to share the recipe. "Now, this is a beauty. I don't mean flash or fancy — rather the opposite; there is something austerely handsome about its appearance, and yet gorgeously warming about its taste," Nigella explains on her website. "But then, this laid-back Sunday-lunch pudding is what kitchen food is all about. I'm happy to leave the picture-perfect plate-decoration dessert to the professional chef and patissier. When I want to eat one, I'll go to a restaurant. That way, everyone's happy.".
The marmalade pudding cake is the "perfect" choice for dessert after a Sunday dinner, Nigella noted when sharing the recipe on X - formerly known as Twitter. The TV chef also explained on her website that when it comes to your choice of marmalade you can be pretty flexible with this one. "I don't want to be too prescriptive about this marmalade pudding cake — which has the surprisingly light texture of a steamed sponge — as it doesn't seem in the spirit of things. I love the bitter edge of a thick-shred, dark marmalade and so tend to go for a proper, glamorously auburn, tawny one here; if this is too full-on for you, choose a fine-shred marmalade, instead.".
