Just that really.
I had made my Christmas pudding already, but it got dropped (so having no shame) I tried a piece. Revolting! Too bitter.
Now I'm researching again, but would rather recommendations.
TIA

Bumpity bump!

I don't make a cake but have always used Delia's pudding recipe with never a problem

Tried delias creole cake this year. It's delish and you can put in whatever fruit you like, as long as it weighs the same.

I did dry it out by accidentally using the fan oven, it was fine after a couple of good splashes of booze

Nigella every time for cake and pud, love her Christmas book.

Darina Allen. She writes for the Irish Examiner so easily google-able.

Another vote for Nigella's pud from her Christmas book.
