Step 1
Butter and base line a 1 litre pudding basin. Cut out a rectangle of baking parchment and foil and fold a crease in the centre of each. Set to one side. Bring about 10cm of water to the boil in a saucepan large enough to comfortably hold your pudding basin.
Step 2
Place the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and cream together with a wooden spoon until pale and creamy. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and beat in the creme fraiche, orange zest and essence of orange.
Step 3
Add the egg mixture to the creamed mixture and beat in. Continue to add and whisk until thoroughly incorporated. Don't worry if it looks a little curdled at this stage.
Step 4
Sift over the flour, cocoa, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Stir in with a wooden spoon until completely incorporated. Add a little milk if the mixture seems a little to stiff.
Step 5
Spoon into the prepared basin, level off the top and then cover with the baking paper and the foil. Secure in place with string and trim off any excess paper and foil. Pop into the pan, ensuring that the water comes up two thirds up the side. Cover, bring to the boil and then simmer for 2 hours.

Warm, sticky, chewy... is there anything more you`d ever want from a bake!? Of course not! And that`s why Dark Muscovado is so often our secret ingredient, perfect for adding a rich, treacly taste to the most indulgent puds you can think of.
People warn about being eaten by lions... but this lion`s more likely to be eaten by us. Making the mane a main event, we can`t get over this amazing lion cake from @gowithkatiesgut!
See? Using different sugars really does make a difference... Brown Sugar contains molasses, which adds moisture to cookies. So the more you add, the softer and chewier they become! And as a bonus, there`ll also be a stronger, caramel flavour. Caster Sugar on the other hand tends to give a crisper texture. They`ll be lighter in colour with a more delicate snap and taste much sweeter than a brown sugar cookie. And a mix of both? Well, then you`ll end up with an amazing cookie that`s both chewy and crisp, with a blend of caramel and sweet flavours! Which one do you think looks best?
We`re changing what `coming over for a cuppa` means! It isn`t just milk and two sugars around our house. We`re daring to dazzle guests with some fancy frappés and a nice drizzle of our Tate & Lyle Barista Caramel Syrup. And there`s nothing stopping you from doing the same!
