When winter arrives, there’s nothing we look forward to more than sinking our spoons into just-baked, cake-like puddings oozing with their own rich sauces. Whether its an indulgent chocolate self-saucing pudding, a Christmassy apple and candied ginger number or the zing of our perennial favourite, the lemon delicious, these soul-warming desserts are the only plausible remedies for the colder months ahead. Serve with an extra pour of cream or dollop of ice-cream for an unbeatable treat.
