How to Make Diana's Plum Pudding Plum Pudding Of Infamy
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
- Remove crusts from one loaf (approximately 1 pound) of day-old bread. Cut bread into 1/2-inch slices.
- Cut the first third of the bread slices diagonally into quarters.
- Arrange the bread triangles in the bottom of the bundt pan, creating a snug layer that covers the bottom and sides.
- Arrange half (approximately 1 cup) of drained plum halves, cut-side down, over the bread.
- Sprinkle 1 cup raisins evenly over the plums.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Drizzle with 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter.
- Repeat layers: another third of the bread triangles, remaining plums, raisins, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 cup melted butter.
- Top with the remaining bread triangles, pressing gently to compress the layers. Sprinkle with remaining sugar.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups heavy cream, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture over the bread, ensuring all layers are moistened but not overly saturated.
- Let the pudding rest for 30 minutes.
- Place the bundt pan in a larger baking pan to catch any spills. Bake for 70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.
- Cool completely, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- **For the Hard Sauce:**
- In a mixing bowl, beat 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually beat in 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of your choice of liquor (e.g., rum, brandy) or milk.
- Gradually beat in remaining 1 cup powdered sugar and another 1 tablespoon of liquor or milk.
- Beat until smooth, thick, but pourable. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving.
- Serve plum pudding warm, room temperature, or chilled, drizzled with hard sauce, soft sauce (recipe of your choice), or topped with vanilla ice cream.
