Daring Bakers Challenge: Chocolate cinnamon pudding with caramel sauce



















Second daring bakers challenge !!


The April 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Esther of The Lilac Kitchen. She challenged everyone to make a traditional British pudding using, if possible, a very traditional British ingredient: suet.

A real challenge for the April assignment of the Daring Bakers; making a traditional British pudding! I never made a real pudding before, so a really good and interesting challenge for me! I did not know that much about puddings, so I did not know about the different types of puddings. Ester told us about the different types of puddings and the traditional pudding ingredient: suet. "Suet ist is the hard but flaky fat found on the inside of a cow or sheep around the kidneys and that area of the body" I was not really into using real suet, so I bought vegetable suet .

I thirst wanted to try a savory pudding, a pudding crust with filling. Since I am really not used to making such types of meals I had difficulties with choosing and good and tasty and tasty pudding recipe. Later I decided to make a sweet pudding. For the sweet pudding I preferred to use butter instead of the (vegetable) suet.

Now I still have the package vegetable suet and after seeing all the lovely recipes of the other daring bakers I will try another real British Pudding using the suet. Great to see all the good looking and tasty puddings !

For my own challenge I decided to make a steamed chocolate cinnamon pudding, an easy but very tasteful pudding with a good texture. The caramel sauce and the pudding tasted great together! Lovely dessert and lovely challenge, I really liked it !
