Orange & passionfruit self-saucing pudding
Delight in the tropical flavors of orange and passionfruit self-saucing pudding. This dessert features a light and fluffy cake with a tangy, citrus-infused sauce that forms as it bakes. The pudding is made by combining fresh orange zest and juice with passionfruit pulp, adding a burst of vibrant flavor. As the pudding bakes, the batter separates into a tender sponge cake on top and a luscious, tangy sauce underneath. Serve this pudding warm, straight from the oven, with a dollop of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly indulgent treat. Enjoy the zesty and refreshing combination of orange and passionfruit in every spoonful!
