Method

Beat the butter and sugar with a hand-held whisk, until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, slowly, then fold in the flour, baking powder, ginger, stem ginger, milk and orange zest.
Spoon the mixture into a well-buttered 900ml pudding basin, cover with clingfilm and microwave on full power for 4 mins in an 850-watt microwave, or 3½ mins in a 900-watt microwave, until just cooked. Or you can decant into mini microwave-safe pudding basins and steam for about 1 min each for individual servings.
Meanwhile, to make the sauce; put the orange juice in a pan and bring to the boil then reduce it by half. Stir in the marmalade and ginger syrup until it melts.
Turn the pudding out onto a plate and serve with the orange sauce spooned over and custard, cream or ice cream.
