Comfort food is just that, food that makes you feel good. Today's recipe comes from Jim's cafe as owned and run by Alma and Gail and may take you back in your memories right into your gran's kitchen. I like a good pudding, me, and it always sets nicer with a cold glass of milk or a nice cup of tea (but then, everything goes well with a nice cuppa!) It's easy to make and easy to eat! Give it a try!

I am Canadian and have always wondered why what would seem like 'cake' to me (floury, baked concoction)is called 'pudding' in Britain. Does anyone have any explanation.
A cake is something eaten cold on its own. A pudding is (usually) warm and covered in custard. MMMMM, scrumptious!! I think coconut pudding could be classed as either.
I think it goes back to the idea of christmas "pudding" which is a steamed heavy fruitcake but served warm with sauce. To us, "pudding" is like very thick custard sort of but then again, we also have bread pudding which is not cake nor our style of pudding.
This sounds ummie! Love coconut, will give it a try. 4 eggs should make it a spong.
