Steps

  • Grease a 1.2 litre pudding basin with butter.
  • Mix flour, cocoa, sugar, suet, and grated orange zest in a large bowl.
  • Gradually stir in milk to form a soft, sticky dough.
  • Roll out one third of the dough to form a lid using the basin as a guide.
  • Roll out the remaining dough into a 30cm circle and line the basin.
  • Place half the butter, brown sugar, and chocolate into the lined basin.
  • Pierce the orange with a skewer and place it on top of the sugar mixture.
  • Add the remaining butter, sugar, and chocolate around the orange.
  • Dampen the pastry edges, apply the lid, and seal tightly.
  • Cover the basin with pleated parchment and foil, then secure with string.
  • Steam the pudding in a large pan of simmering water for 2.25 hours.
  • Invert the pudding onto a deep dish and serve immediately with cream.
