Delia's Treacle Sponge

I love treacle sponge, and since I just received some pudding basins for my birthday, I decided to give it a go :)

Recipe here: http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/type-of-dish/sweet/steamed-treacle-sponge-pudding.html 


The prepared basin (with plenty of golden syrup!)


The mix


I don't have a steamer, so I used my big cast iron pot, scrunched up some tin foil so that the basin wouldn't touch the bottom of the pan
When cooking the boiling water came half way up the side of the pudding basin.


All tied up.  I watched a video on YouTube on how to do this before I did it!


The finished product.  Despite my excessive greasing, the top still stuck a bit.


Yummy! With ice cream. The best way!
