sponge pudding

British baked sweet

Sponge pudding is a British steamed or baked dessert with a light, airy cake texture, typically served warm with custard or sauce.

The sponge sits atop a layer of jam, syrup, or fruit: treacle sponge pudding, sticky toffee pudding.

Unlike American puddings, which are creamy, British puddings often refer to cake-like desserts.
