A good bread pudding is always a treat to have. You can keep it simple and make in a plain vanilla flavour and dress it up with a sauce or add other flavours to it. I love fruity flavoured bread puddings. And prefer pairing it with a sauce too. Earlier, I had shared the recipe for a Pineapple Bread Pudding. Now with Christmas and New Year approaching, I felt that a recipe infused with some warm spices would be perfect. And that’s how I tried out this Orange flavoured bread pudding which is infused with this Spiced Orange Sauce. I prefer letting the pudding soak in some of the sauce before I serve it and then pour more sauce while serving…:)
This is one of those easy desserts to make for the upcoming festival season that you should definitely give a try. While your pudding is baking, you can prepare the sauce and keep it ready!

Notes
- Flavouring: I like to flavour this pudding with my cake spice mix along with the orange rind. If you do not have the cake spice mix, you can add cinnamon powder too. And if you prefer to just have the orange flavour, you can leave the cinnamon/cake spice mix out of the recipe and increase the quantity of orange rind you add.
- Baking Time: In my oven, this pudding takes about 30 min to bake. I prefer baking this in a glass dish so that I can see how the sides look. You should take care not to overbake, else the pudding will turn out dry. Before 30 min, if you see the top has browned and there is no liquid batter, you can turn off the oven and take out the pudding.
