Hi Bold Bakers! Streamed Marmalade Pudding may not be a common dessert in the US, but it’s a favorite in both England and Ireland. Actually, this steamed marmalade pudding may — no joke — be my favorite new dessert this year! Already have an account? Steaming cakes, or “puddings,” is very common for us back over the pond. A good steamed pudding brings up lovely memories from childhood for many people who still live in the UK and Ireland and for any ex-pat. For those unfamiliar, this is a cake batter that is steamed. And this steamed pudding recipe results in an unbelievably moist cake that is irresistible when paired with my Creme Anglaise. It’s tangy, sweet, creamy, soft… everything! A steamed pudding is an easy dessert to make (you can check out my How To Steam A Christmas Pudding informational article if you need to, too), and I am so excited for you to try it out for yourself if you’ve never had one! And even more excited if it brings up some fond memories of your home if you have had it before!
What Is A Steamed Pudding?
Steamed pudding isn’t really like pudding. Actually, it’s more like a very moist cake — but instead of baking the cake ingredients, they are put into a mold and slowly steamed for about 2 hours. It’s a simple, easy dessert that needs little attention while steaming. You just have to check to make sure the water doesn’t boil dry.

Serve with my homemade Creme Anglaise. Don’t have a pudding basin? click here or alternatively use any round glass or porcelain bowl you can find. You can make this recipe with a large lemon instead of an orange. Be sure to turn the pudding out of the basin while still warm for an easy release. Make your own brown sugar!
