Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 1.5-litre baking dish.
step 2
To make the sauce, put the sugars and butter in a large pan with 375ml of water. Dissolve the sugar over a low heat, then bring to a boil. Once it is combined and slightly thickened, take off the heat.
step 3
Put the sponge ingredients into a large bowl and combine with an electric whisk until light and fluffy. Spoon into the prepared dish. Gently pour the sauce over the back of a spoon onto the sponge, then bake for 35-40 mins or until golden and risen.
step 4
Dust over a little icing sugar and top each serving with a good scoop of vanilla ice cream.
