This Nigella\'s Spicy hot cake is truly entertaining. The butter goes into the baking dish, lots of muscovado sugar goes on top and - oops - all that goes flooded by boiling water from the cattle. But magic! - a great looking pudding in boiling sticky toffee sauce comes out of the oven.

Ingredients
For the butter:
150 g flour
100 g light muscovado sugar
1 tea spoon baking powder
1 tea spoons ground ginger
1/2 tea spoon ground cinnamon
1/2 tea spoon ground nutmeg
125 ml milk
60 ml vegetable oil
1 egg

For the topping:
200 g light muscovado sugar
1 tea spoons ground ginger
1/2 tea spoon ground cinnamon
30 g butter

Method
To make the butter, mix together the dry ingredients. Add the milk, oil and egg. Mix till smooth.

Pour the butter into a greased 23 cm cake pan. Sprinkle over the 200 g of muscavado sugar, ginger, cinnamon. Chop the butter into pieces and place on top of the sugar.

Pour over 500 ml of boiling water from the cattle.

Bake at 220C for 30 minutes. Take out of the oven and let stand for 10 minutes.

Serve hot with vanilla ice-cream, wiped cream or vanilla sauce. Nigella suggests eggnog cream, which also must be delicious. To me the greatest setting for this cake would be just sit together around a table with this steaming baking dish in the middle. Just spooning this pudding crumbling into the sticky sauce out till its gone. It will definitely be gone very soon.
