Awesome recipe!! I watched Delia Smith make this pudding but didn't write the recipe down so searched on here. This was the closest to hers and uses cups for measures which I prefer. I added the zest of a lemon which gave a great flavour, next time I might try vanilla and after that maybe a coffee or mocha flavouring. I think pretty much any flavour could be added to this. Thanks for posting, its going in my cookbook.
