Made this yesterday and it was v good. Recipe worked perfectly. Sadly there were only 2 of us to eat it, so now we’re quite fat and still have some left :0)

Here's one I made earlier. This one had fudge chopped up in the syrup. And these are a few action shots

Awesome! After 7 years in USA, it was great to taste this blast from the past again!

A z-fold is a pleat (so called because you make a ‘z’ shape). It allows the aluminium foil to expand as the sponge cooks. I’ll post pictures next time I make one. Not folding the foil shouldn’t make that much difference, the sponge will just be a bit more stodgy when it’s cooked……

I’ve followed all your steps in making a syrup sponge, however after two hours it still isn’t cooked. I think this is because I left out the z fold as I wasn’t sure what it was. Is this why my sponge isn’t cooked and can you tell me what a z fold is????
Thank You Very Much
Caroline
p.s can you get back to me asap as it’s presently still cooking.

I think I remember doing this at one time or another. Have you tried Upside-down puddings, they are nearly as good.
