Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Step 2
Cream the sugar with 1 stick butter. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, mace and ginger. Combine milk and cream; add, one-third at a time, to creamed butter-sugar alternately with the dry ingredients, mixing well after each addition.
Step 3
Add raisins and mix well. Grease a large rectangular pan (10 by 14 inches) and pour the batter into the pan, tilting to distribute it evenly.
Step 4
Bring 8 cups water to a boil. Mix boiling water with brown sugar, molasses, 6 tablespoons butter, lemon juice and rum. Pour liquid ingredients over batter, place in oven and bake one hour.
Step 5
When ready to serve, combine garnish ingredients and beat to lighten. Serve the warm pudding with the cream on top.
