Directions
Start by greasing the pudding mold with extra butter, so that the pudding does not stick. This is a recommendation based on some unfortunate experiences in the past.
Beat the butter and brown sugar until a smooth cream forms. Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved.
Fold in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is well incorporated before adding the next. This is a useful technique for achieving a light and airy texture.
Add the flour, pudding spice and baking powder to the bowl and mix well.
Add the dried fruit, toasted almonds and lemon and orange zest to the bowl and stir well. Remember, if you select the fruits based on your preferences, it will give your pudding a personalized touch.
Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake at 160 °C (350 °F) for 2 hours, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the pudding cool slightly before unmolding and serve with a little rum on top for an extra festive flavor.
