Generally known as cake and not pudding on the US side of the Atlantic,
this traditional British dessert is a round of sponge cake that is
saturated with a golden syrup known as treacle.
Treacle , chocolate
or strawberry. It makes what would otherwise be a plain and fairly dry
dessert moist and sweet, so the combination of treacle and sponge is a
time-honored British favorite. Come to think of it, the combination
of treacle and nearly anything is a British favorite. "The treacle
pudding is caramel-flavored, surprisingly moist and quite good,
especially considering that it comes from a can. I worried that it might
turn out dry after its long storage, but once the treacle heated up,
moisture returned to the dessert, making it sticky and sweet, though the
treacle had mostly been absorbed into the cake. It was a nice change of
pace. Heinz puts out several other varieties of puddings, including
chocolate sponge and
spotted dick.
