Raspberry Cap pudding
When growing up, we had two children's cookbooks in our home. I remember my sisters and their friends cooking in my mum's kitchen and usually I was shooed out. I have two elder sisters and my sister Naashia is a great cook she very often cooked from this book and one of them was this recipe. (But this doesn't mean my other sister isn't a good cook) She used to steam this rather than bake in the oven, so if you don't have an oven just pop this into a steamer on the stovetop and steam this.
This is like an upside-down cake, much easier to make and tastes delicious especially drizzled with some thin custard sauce. I always have a tin of custard powder in my kitchen, so simply made the custard as instructed on the tin.
Use a good quality jam, I like Bonne Mamman, Hero and St.Dalfour brands.
