Making delicious traditional Christmas pudding without oven

October 2nd, 2023

Christmas won't be complete without a pine tree and cake, which are considered the soul of the party. While there are many types of cakes to celebrate the festive season, Christmas pudding is considered an indispensable cake on every table. Different from other types of pudding, the cake has a soft, moist base, spongy while its taste is delicious sweet and sour. We can make this type of pudding without an oven and here is the way.

Origin

Christmas pudding is believed to bring luck and happiness.

Christmas pudding originated in England with many different names such as pudding, pud or plum pudding. The sweet cake is now popular for Christmas holidays in Great Britain, Ireland and parts of the United States.

In previous centuries, christmas pudding was usually made of herbs, onions, plums, veal, breadcrumbs, dried fruit and spices, but in the 15th century, vegetables and meat were substituted. Until now, it is still customary to put a few peas or coins in the cake with the belief that whoever gets the portion with the object will have good luck for the whole year.

Ingredients

Almond flour and Maida flour 

Unsalted butter (finely grated)

Yellow and black raisins, plums, black raspberry, dates: all dried 

Dark brown sugar and pickled cherries 

Dark rum and beer 

Crumbs noodles 

Mixed seasoning powder, Cinnamon powder, Nutmeg powder 

Beaten eggs 

 Christmas pudding ingredients.

Method 

Preliminary processing of seeds

Put in a bowl of warm water 150 gr of yellow raisins, 75 gr of black raisins, 125 gr of dried plums, 50 gr of dried blackberries and 2 gr of dry date. 

Yellow raisins are used for making Christmas pudding.

Then, soak this fruit mixture for about 30 minutes to one hour until soft, then remove and drain.

Mix the nut mixture

Add 125 gr of dark brown sugar to the dry fruit mixture and mix well.

Next, add 60 ml of dark rum, 100 ml of beer, mix the mixture again and soak for 24 hours.

Mix cake flour

Use a spoon to mix the mixture well

Add to the nut mixture 100 gr of breadcrumbs, 100 gr of almond flour, 50 gr of Maida flour and mix well.

Then, add 100 gr of sugar-soaked cherries, 2.5 teaspoons of mixed seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg powder, 3 beaten eggs and 100 gr of butter finely grated. 

Use a spoon to mix well, then cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Pour the cake mold

Spread butter evenly into the heat-resistant glass bowl, line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper and spread the dough evenly. 

Next, cover the mouth of the bowl with 1 piece of parchment paper, 1 piece of foil and use tightrope.

Steam the cake

Put the cake bowl in the pot, add a little water so that it is below half the height of the bowl. Next, close the lid and steam on low heat for 6 hours.

Christmas pudding is decorated with flowers and candles.

How to preserve pudding 

Put the cake in an airtight container, store it in the refrigerator and use it for 3-5 days.

Once served during Christmas, pudding is believed to bring luck and happiness to the family.
