Lorraine Pascale makes a delicious Madeira summer pudding with hot chocolate sauce dessert on How To Be A Better Cook.

Lorraine says: “I cannot bring myself to eat white soggy bread. With that in mind, I took a little culinary artistic license and used Madeira loaf, which adds sweetness. This recipe is perfect for cooks who wants to take short-cuts but still wants to deliver impressive results ”

The ingredients are: 1 vanilla pod, seeds only (or a few drops of vanilla extract), 175g soft light brown sugar, 2 tbsp dark rum, port or a blackcurrant liqueur, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 2 tsp ground ginger, 1kg fresh summer berries (such as a mixture of raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and redcurrants), stalks removed, 2 Madeira loaf cakes and small handful of fresh mint leaves, for decoration.

For the warm chocolate sauce: 125ml double cream, 100g dark chocolate (or a mix of dark and milk if preferred), finely chopped and 3 tbsp just-boiled water.
