treacle pudding

Golden syrup dessert

Treacle pudding is a traditional British steamed dessert made with golden syrup (not actual treacle, despite the name).

The sponge cake absorbs the syrup as it steams, becoming dense and sweet.

It's typically served warm with custard: We finished Sunday dinner with treacle pudding and custard.
