How to Make Quick Comfort Pudding

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4).
Grease and flour a 20cm round cake tin.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Sift in the flour and baking powder, and gently fold into the mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
Optional: Add 40g sultanas or the zest of 1 lemon.
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the pudding cool slightly in the tin before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm with a generous dollop of custard.
