Indulge in this delectable British Queen Pudding for a sweet delight.
Ingredients:
  • 450g Brand unfilled double sponge cake
  • 82.50 gm Brand raspberry jam
  • 643.75 gm milk
  • 5 eggs, separated, plus 1 whole egg
  • 268.75 gm caster sugar
  • 250.00 ml frozen raspberries
  • 62.50 ml flaked almonds
  • 62.50 gm cold water
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C (or 160C for fan-forced). Grease an 8-cup baking dish. Spread jam on one half of the cakes, then sandwich them together. Cut into large cubes and place in the dish.
  • Heat milk in a small saucepan until just boiling. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, whole egg, and 1/4 cup sugar until pale. Gradually whisk in hot milk. Pour mixture over the cake, then sprinkle raspberries and almonds on top. Place in a roasting pan and add enough boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the dish. Bake for 20-30 minutes until custard is set. Remove dish from water before serving.
  • Combine the remaining sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves. Once dissolved, increase the heat to medium and allow the mixture to simmer without stirring for 3-4 minutes, until it reaches the soft-ball stage.
  • Beat egg whites in a bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Once the syrup reaches the soft-ball stage, pour it slowly into the egg white while mixing on medium speed until a thick and glossy meringue forms. Spread the meringue over the pudding and bake until golden, around 5 minutes.
