1 3/4 cups (260g) self-raising flour
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
100g dark muscovado sugar
2 tbs treacle
120g unsalted butter, chopped, melted, cooled
1 cup (250ml) buttermilk
3 eggs
150g uncrystallised ginger, finely chopped, plus extra to serve
Thickened cream, to serve

Ginger sauce

100g unsalted butter, chopped
1/3 cup (75g) dark muscovado sugar
1/3 cup (80ml) ginger beer
200ml thickened cream

Ginger caramel

100g unsalted butter
1/3 cup (75g) dark muscovado sugar
1/3 cup (80ml) ginger beer
100ml thickened cream

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a 2.3L-capacity baking dish.
2.

Sift flour, ginger and bicarb into a large bowl. Add sugar, treacle, cooled melted butter, buttermilk and eggs and whisk until combined. Fold through chopped ginger until combined. Spoon mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden and slightly soft to touch.
3.

Meanwhile, for the ginger sauce, place all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, then pour sauce over the hot pudding and allow to soak in.
4.

For the ginger caramel, place ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until thickened. Set aside and keep warm. Spoon pudding into serving bowls and drizzle with caramel and cream. Scatter with extra ginger to serve.
