Here in Australia, we like to call it as the Sticky Date Pudding. This dessert is a combination of sponge cake and a toffee sauce.

June 26th is the Chocolate Pudding Day. Although the term 'pudding' is a British one, people all over the world didn't stop enjoying the delights of it just because of the name. Chocolate pudding is steamed and thickened with eggs which give a cake-like texture. National Chocolate Pudding day is celebrated in the USA.

The name makes you think that this day is celebrated in India, but it's actually not. National Indian Pudding Day is actually celebrated in England.
