    my first dessert had a sneaky taste before anyone else i added extra syrup for my own taste love the stuff thank you for putting recipe on here

  3. How do you place the tea towel? Across the whole thing or just folded under one side?

    My first desert made in the SC. Husband loved it!! It was devine! It will be made again but i think i will make just a little extra sauce as we were fighting over it.

    This recipe is a winner and was loved by all! I used my 1.5L baby cooker and it worked fine, the cake did touch the tea towel (just) but did not affect the recipe in any way. I added another tablespoon of golden syrup. I served with thickened cream which was perfect as it toned down the sweetness (ok and up the calories!) Awesome recipe thanks.

    Made a gluten free version…. gf flour, rice malt syrup instead of golden syrup

    Used in my 1.5L, 1.5hrs on high with tea towel…..absolutely beautiful, not as sweet but still beautiful

  7. Hi Pauline, if I was to double the recipe, would I need to double the cooking time? This will be my first bake in a SC.
    Thanks

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central July 4, 2016

      I wouldn’t double it no.
      Start with the recommended time first then just check it after that to see when it’s done 🙂

  8. Jess Barentsen July 5, 2016

    Absolutely delicious!
    I doubled the recipe (plus an extra couple tbs of golden syrup?) And cooked in my 5.5L for just under 2 hours.

  9. I want to try a dessert in the slow cooker…. However lots of desserts request for a smaller slow cooker. Which I don’t have. (Only two large ones) How could I cook this butterscotch pudding in my large slow cooker? Could I use a cake tin inside my slow cooker? Thanks in advance

    Yummy!!! I did add a tad more butter and golden syrup. The family loved it!

    Cooked this in my 5.5 L and it came out great 😀 went down a treat with my housemates. I will defiently double the recipe next time though because it wasn’t enough 😛 also my slow cooker runs hot so it only took an hour to make.

  12. I was looking for reassurance that the ingredients list is not accidentally missing egg. All I see is people loving it so I’ll give it a go as is.

  13. I have made this a few times now. 1 and half hours on high is no where near long enough cooking! The sauce is still too watery and pudding no where near cooked. I have had to cook it for about 3 and half to 4 hrs. I always have to make more sauce also. I have a ZIP 3.5Ltr Slowcooker.?

      Sounds like your slow cooker may cook a little slower
      But it’s great you now know how to adjust it to suit you 🙂

    Super easy and tasted lovely. I will definitely make it again, just next time I will make a double batch.

  15. Charlotte Rendell April 27, 2018

    Loved this pudding! It was so easy to make and the whole family loved it. I think this is my new quick and easy dessert! We added ice cream which was really nice.

  16. Oh my life, I was instantly transported back to the desserts of my childhood! A resounding hit for all the family, and may need to double the recipe next time!

  17. Hazel Fish April 28, 2018

    This is perfect for a 3.5 litre slow cooker, and I have doubled the ingredients to fit a 6.5 litre cooker. Always works out just as it should be, and there’s never any left. Gorgeous with custard on a cold wintry day.

  18. Karina Barron May 12, 2018

    Absolutely LOVED IT!!!! Perfect for a cold night! I doubled everything in the recipe and cooked on high for 2 hours with the tea towel trick!

  19. Jodie Leemhuis May 21, 2018

    This is so easy and so very yummy! I double the recipe ingredients, used 1/2 cup caster sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar in the pudding mix, cooked in a 3 Lt sc on high with a tea towel under the lid. It just fit in my sc and so delicious served with ice cream. Will definitely make this dessert again and again. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe Christine Wescombe, we love it 🙂

  20. Absolutely yummy and too easy and quick to make. Will definately make again.

  21. Leigh Baker June 14, 2018

    Making this tonight in the new baby SC …. will advise outcome 🙂 hope that it does work in this size cooker

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central June 15, 2018

      It’s says in recipe it was cooked in a 3.5L :/

  22. Leigh Baker June 15, 2018

    Cooked in my 1.5L SC on high for 1.5 hours and it was perfect. I used the tea towel and it was a bit low and the cake met it 🙂 so I pulled the tea towel up into a ‘pony tail’ and secured with an elastic band, which held it up high enough for the remaining 45 mins and it turned out fine. The pudding was delicious as was the sauce. Hubby and Miss 18 were highly impressed …. 😉

  23. Leigh Baker June 15, 2018

    Sorry Paulene… I did see it was in the 3.5L but I was just going from other reviewers saying that they had used the baby one. I would never have tried it otherwise …. not keen for an overflow of that mixture on the bench hahahaha

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central June 16, 2018

      You wouldn’t want to waist of drop of it’s deliciousness I agree 🙂

  24. Melanie BROWN July 14, 2018

    This is delicious … I doubled bathed and cooked for 2hrs in the sunbeam secret chef..will be doing again for sure ?

  25. Made this tonight. I did 3 times the recipe and cooked it in my 6L cooker, generously served 11 people (5 kids), served with ice cream. Absolutely delicious!!!

  26. Did this last night – doubled in 3.5l SC for ~2 hours. I followed Jodie’s suggestion and did half white and half brown sugar – disappeared quickly! Yummy 🙂

  27. I’ve made this pudding a few times and it’s absolutely delicious. I usually make it in my 1.5L SC but tonight I used my 3L and added more sauce. Next time though I think I’ll just double the cake mix too because it’s just that good 🙂 Thanks Christine, THUMBS UP from me.

  28. Made this last night in 3.5lt, doubled the sauce, cos, why not! ?

    As easy as it gets, absolutely scrummy and satisfied a sweet craving!

    PS added bonus with no eggs needed for the cake ?

    Made this last night and everyone enjoyed it and went back for more.
    I doubled the recipe and still fitted in my 3.5 slow cooker.
    My triple the sauce next time because it was so delicious ??

  30. Absolutely delicious! Used honey as I didn’t have any golden syrup. Put in 4T of it as well. Perfect served warm with vanilla bean ice cream. Thank you x

  31. Rodney mayfield January 28, 2024

    giving it a try, bugger found out that did not have enough golden syrup so substituted ready made caramel sauce and water as the sauce all ready cream in it

  32. 5 stars
    this was delicious, made it in my 1.5 l slow cooker, but doubled the amount of golden syrup. so yummy and easy
