I made this on a whim (after all, Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without Mrs Baddeley's plum pudding) and it turned out really well! I did add a teaspoon of ginger, for preferred personal taste, and had to use a pudding cloth since we don't have a pudding bowl, but it's a really good, simple and easily adjustable to vegan recipe.
I do recommend leaving it overnight, if you use a cloth like I did. It came out a bit pale and soggy looking, but tightened up and darkened after a night cooling in the (off) oven.
