Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the water, sugar, mixed spice, cinnamon, mixed fruit, golden raisins and margarine. Bring to a boil and let simmer for one minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour, baking soda and eggs. Pour into a microwave-safe bowl.
• Place the bowl into the microwave, uncovered. Cook for 10 minutes on full power. Let stand for 5 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite custard.

Steps:

• Put into a large pan, water, spice, cinnamon, fruit, sugar, margarine, treacle. Bring to a boil then simmer for 1 minute only. Stir in flour, soda, and eggs. Mix very well. Put the mixture into a pudding basin lined with enough cling wrap to go over the sides. Do not cover the mixture. Microwave for 6-9 minutes. When cooked, keep in wrap, or remove the wrap if you do not want the skin to form on the dumpling.

Steps:

• Into a heavy pan place the following ingredients; water, spices, fruit, sugar, butter and treacle.

• Stir the eggs, flour, and bicarbonate of soda into the mixture. It will appear to start cooking the mixture. Do not worry.

• Dip a cheesecloth in boiling water, and rub it well with flour.
• Put the mixture into the cloth and tie securely.
• Drop into boiling water but do not allow the water to come more than 2/3s up the pudding.
• Boil for 3 hours, replenishing water as it boils away.

Steps:

• In a microwavable bowl, put the jam or syrup so that it covers the bottom. This will be the top of your cake.
• Here it is best to use a food processor, although if you want to you can do it by hand. Put all of the remaining basic ingredients into a bowl (or the mixer) with one of the flavour ingredients. If you want to, you can keep it plain.
• Mix or blend all of the ingredients together until smooth.
• Put in bowl on top of jam/syrup and microwave without a lid on full for 5 mins. Leave for 1-2 mins to stand.

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa and cornstarch. Whisk in milk a little at a time so the mixture does not have any dry lumps.
• Place in the microwave, and cook for 3 minutes on high. Stir, then cook at 1 minute intervals, stirring between cooking times for 2 to 4 minutes, or until shiny and thick. Stir in vanilla.
• Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming, and chill in the refrigerator. Serve cold.
