Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. Then, using a mixer on low speed, beat all the ingredients together.

Gently fold in the egg whites, beaten to stiff peaks, and the raisins.
- Step 5
Finally, add the baking powder, incorporating it with gentle folding motions.
- Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared mold and bake in a water bath in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes.
- Step 7
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before unmolding the pudding.
