  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup molasses
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup heavy cream (for sauce)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (for sauce)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for sauce)
  • Pinch of salt (for sauce)
  • Chopped crystallized ginger, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish or ramekins.
  2. In one bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and spices. In another, mix brown sugar, egg, molasses, melted butter, milk, and vanilla.
  3. Gently combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.
  4. Pour batter into the greased baking dish or ramekins, filling them about two-thirds full.
  5. Tap the dish lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. While baking, prepare the toffee sauce by simmering cream, brown sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt until thickened.
  8. Pour warm sauce over freshly baked pudding and garnish with chopped crystallized ginger. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use dark molasses for deeper flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the sponge light.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  • Pudding and sauce can be made ahead and reheated when needed.
