1937: From the Bakery Trade.

The Marrickville Margarine Pty.Ltd in N.S.W, Australia marketed their product under the brand name “Pilot Margarine”. One of their marketing tools was a cookbook for the bakery trade, so the quantities of mixture are large. This recipe makes good commercial sense as it very cleverly uses up broken cake.

Christmas Pudding (Using Cake Crumbs).

6 lbs. Cake Crumbs

4 lbs. Flour

1 ½ lbs. Sugar

1 ½ lbs. PILOT Cake Margarine.

2 oz. Baking Powder.

12 Eggs

3 lbs. Raisins

3 lbs. Sultanas

½ lb Peel

½ lb. Currants

2 oz. Mace

Burnt Sugar Colour

Sufficient Milk to make a nice consistency.



Sieve flour, powder, and mace together, then add the crumbs. Cream the Margarine and Sugar well, adding the eggs slowly and also the colour; then add the milk, next the flour, then the fruit.

Measure the mixture into basins, filling them three-quarter full, tie over with greaseproof paper and steam from two to five hours according to size.
