Behind all the other odds and ends, stacked up alongside some canned tomatoes, was this lone, canned Heinz Treacle
Pudding. Generally known as cake and not pudding on the US side of the Atlantic, this traditional British dessert is a
round of sponge cake that is saturated with a golden syrup known as treacle. Treacle is a type of light molasses that is left over during the sugar
refining process. It makes what would otherwise be a plain and fairly dry dessert moist and sweet, so the combination
of treacle and sponge is a time-honored British favorite. Come to think of it, the combination of treacle and
nearly anything is a British favorite.
The label on the cake promised that it was microwaveable, meaning that I could avoid a 30 minute stove-top steaming just to eat it. I put it on a plate, covered it with a microwave-safe bowl and hit "start."
