Combine the flour, salt, nuts and spices together then fold into the egg mixture.Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin or dish, sprinkle over brown sugar evenly over the batter.

To make the topping: 

Mix together the water and sherry/ orange juice, pour over the back of a spoon to cover the pudding. Bake the pudding for 35 minutes or until just cooked. Serve with cream and salted butterscotch sauce drizzled over.
