Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 180c/fan 160c/gas 4. Beat the butter, vanilla and sugar together. Mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder, then add bit by bit to the butter mix, alternating with one egg at a time. Add the warm milk to make a smooth batter, then stir in the prunes and nuts. Pour into a baking tin approx 23 × 16 cm and cook for 30-40 minutes until firm.

Cut the pudding into squares, put on plates, then pour over the sauce to cover. Serve with a spoon of clotted cream.
