Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and lightly grease a 6 cm-deep, 1.5 L (6-cup) baking dish. Place the dish inside a larger roasting pan.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine condensed milk, golden syrup, and 30 g of the butter. Stir for about 4 minutes until melted and slightly deepened in color. Pour into the base of the prepared baking dish.
Using electric beaters, beat the brown sugar, vanilla, and remaining 125 g butter in a large bowl until pale and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Fold in the self-raising flour alternately with the milk until just combined; do not overmix.
Spoon the pudding mixture gently over the condensed milk layer in the dish.
Pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the pudding dish, creating a water bath.
Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the top is golden and springs back when lightly touched.
Serve warm, spooning through the sponge to reveal the caramel sauce underneath. Top with salted caramel macadamia ice cream.

Notes

Add chopped pecans or macadamias for crunch.

For deeper caramel flavor, replace some golden syrup with treacle or dark brown sugar.

For a chocolate twist, mix 2 tbsp cocoa powder into the flour.

Layer sliced bananas or pears in the base for added sweetness.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.

Freeze portions for up to 2 months and thaw before reheating.
