This pudding is so delicious it will certainly not have time to get into the freezer. Tinned plums are my new favourite go-to for a quick dessert. Top this quick dessert with a scandalous scoop of vanilla icecream

Method

1. Preheat an oven to 170degC. Lightly grease a 23cm pan or cake tin.

2. Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well.

3. Fold through the flours, baking powder and chocolate chunks.

4. Spoon the batter into your tin. Dot the plums on top (they will sink when cooking).

5. Bake for 50 minutes or until the middle is just set.

6. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm with lightly whipped cream or add a little decadence with your favourite vanilla ice cream slightly melted on the warm pudding.
