Last winter, Gustavo experimented with it a lot, determined to re-create that incredible dessert. His final product is actually better than what we ate in Vegas, if you ask me! The cake itself is modified from the New York Times version. (Which, oddly, doesn’t make enough batter for the pan size it calls for.) The topping is my own creation!

That's all very nice, but I much prefer it when it's clearly been baked in a big batch, scooped up with a serving spoon, plonked in a bowl and almost drowned in custard. You know, the old-fashioned way, like our grandparents served it.

You will probably consume the whole batch before serving it to your guests/family, but hey...no judgement here!! Raisins, prunes even apricots would make a great alternative How many slices does the pudding make? When your pudding is almost ready, make the sauce. Cube the butter and melt in a small pan on a medium heat. Add both the sugars, then, once nicely mixed, carefully add the rum (it may splatter) and double cream. Bring to the boil, then simmer for around 5 minutes, or until a lovely deep golden colour.
