Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Grease the moulds with butter. Stir together the syrup, 1 tbsp rum, if using, and half the lime zest; divide among the moulds. Trim the pineapple rings (or use a cutter) to fit the base of the moulds. Finely chop the pineapple trimmings and set aside. Press a pineapple ring into each mould, then a cherry into the middle of each; set aside.
- Using an electric whisk, cream the butter and sugar for about 6 mins until pale and fl uff y. Beat in the eggs, mixing well between each, then fold in the flour, ginger, salt and remaining lime zest. Stir in the remaining 2 tbsp rum, if using, the lime juice and chopped pineapple; spoon into the moulds.
- Cover the top of each mould with foil and seal, then put in a deep roasting tin and pour in enough boiling water to come 2cm up the sides of the moulds. Bake for 35-40 mins; to check if they’re cooked, insert a skewer into the middle of a pudding to see if it comes out clean.
- Remove from the water and leave to cool in the moulds for 5 mins. Run a palette knife around the edge of the sponges, then turn out into bowls. Serve with extra syrup, plus ice cream or cream, if you like
- Tip: You will need 6 x 200ml dariole moulds or pudding basins.
