Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar (for the sauce)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup butter
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla essence
  • 1 1/2 cups fruit salad (assorted fruits of your choice)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pudding Batter:

    • Using a beater, cream together the eggs and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Sift the Dry Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, bicarbonate of soda, and salt. This ensures a smooth and evenly textured pudding.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

    • Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the creamed egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
    • Gently fold in the fruit salad until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  4. Bake the Pudding:

    • Preheat your oven to 180°C (375°F).
    • Grease an ovenproof dish with a little butter or cooking spray.
    • Pour the pudding batter into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Bake to Perfection:

    • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Prepare the Sauce:

    • While the pudding is baking, prepare the sauce by combining the remaining 1 cup of sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla essence in a saucepan.
    • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Once the pudding is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately prick it all over with a skewer.
    • Pour the hot sauce generously over the warm pudding, allowing it to seep into the holes and infuse the pudding with flavor.
    • Serve your Fruit and Coconut Pudding warm, accompanied by a dollop of custard or whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
