SOOOOO Yummy!! Didn't quite believe it would work in such little time, but it's FANTASTIC!! More golden syrup needed tho!!

It's very nice, even though I'm a bit strange. I don't use lemon zest – that's for upper class people! I'm going to eat all the cheese here before I go down to the toastie maker.

My husband decided he’d like a sponge pudding so i found your recipe. We all loved it and are now thinking of all the possible alternatives. Thanks

yum yum yum my husband said you’re not going to make a sponge pud from scratch are you? And was amazed when I gave him his pud about 6minutes later! Mixed all the ingredients together in the food processor…took no time at all and came out perfect!!!

I was a none believer. I just didn’t believe it would work for me. I just this minute made it, whilst my kids hung around like hungry birds waiting to try it. It is unbelievable. We absolutely love it. It really does work.

Paul Evans
Mine is 800w and it came out perfectly after 3.5 minutes on high – possibly the best syrup sponge I have had!
18 Jan 2007, 15:06

Took 4 minutes in my 700W microwave.
Delicious with ice cream. Thank you for this quick and easy recipe.

I’m sure this would have been very nice if it had cooked properly. I have an 800W oven, but when I turned it out the top was all goey with uncooked cake batter mixed in syrup. My boyfriend laughed at me ;__;
I will try again tomorrow!

What a lovely recipe – I was just sat here after dinner and my husband was saying how much he fancied a sponge pudding and I didn’t have any ready done ones – after the results of 20 minutes effort I won’t be buying anymore
I halved the ingredients, left out the lemon zest because I didn’t have any fresh lemon and used raspberry jam instead of golden syrup with resounding results – a lovely light pudding that took 2 minutes on full power in my 1000 watt microwave
Thanks for this I owe you one

Yum, great and no effort! I’ll keep this one handy. Always knew Warwick brass players had the best taste. :)

Just made this with egg replacer instead of eggs, rice milk instead of milk, orange zest instead of lemon zest real vanilla pod instead of vanilla essence and dairy free margarine instead of butter. Vegan sponge and it still tasted great

Deeee-licious pud. I had this recipe some years ago from a microwave cook book , now lost! so I googled and found your blog.
Have to say your one is better.

I looked on the net for a quick microwave pudding and found this. Made the bigger portion and used lime zest instead of lemon. I added lime juice to the syrup.
Oh my god it was delicious.
I am making one to take to a friends tonight.
I recommend this to everyone and have sent this page to friends.

Just asked my neighbour if she had anything sweet in the house. She said “no” but suggested I make a microwave sponge pudding. “Yeah right” I thought. 10 minutes later it was “Yeah alriiiiight” as I tucked into a quick tasty dish that I will make again and again and again.
