In a medium sized mixing bowl start by adding the dry ingredients, the flour, sugar, baking
powder, salt and cocoa powder. If you would like the full recipe for this chocolate self
saucing pudding it will be on my website as well as the full measurements listed in the
description box below.
Give the dry ingredients a good mix together with a wooden spoon and set the bowl to the
side.
This dessert only takes about 5-10 minutes to prep and about 35 minutes in the oven.
All of the ingredients are kitchen basics that you most likely already have on hand,
so it’s so easy to make if you’re feeling like something sweet and indulgent after dinner
or to serve to guests.
Move on to the wet ingredients. Add 55g or 1/2 stick of butter to a heat proof bowl and
melt in the microwave or in a small saucepan over medium heat. To the butter measure out
half a cup or 125ml of milk or a milk alternative.
You’ll notice I give the recipe amounts in metric and imperial, cups, gram and mls
so no matter where you live in the world you should find this recipe easy enough to follow.
Crack in one medium sized egg followed by 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Use a fork to whisk
the ingredient together until combined.
The self saucing chocolate pudding is made up of two parts, the batter which turns into
a delicious soft and spongey chocolate pudding and the topping which falls through the sponge
as it bakes to create a decadent fudgy sauce. Hence the same, self saucing. It’s similar
to a chocolate lava cake, but soooo much easier to make, perfect served with scoops of ice
cream, cream and fresh berries if in season.
Take the bowl of the wet ingredients and pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Fold the chocolate batter together just until you no longer see any dry flour. Be careful
not to over mix. It should almost look like a cake batter.
Transfer the batter into a baking dish. a 9” or 23cm round dish works well or a 9x13
or 20x30cm rectangle dish. Smooth out the top with the spoon and set to the side.
In a small bowl add 1 cup or 200g of brown sugar and 25g or 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa
powder. Whisk the ingredients together until combined.
Take the bowl and start to gently sprinkle it over the chocolate batter, covering the
top evenly. This is part of what’s going to bake up into the delicious fudgy chocolate
sauce.
Lastly measure out 1 1/4 cups or 310mls of hot water. Pour the hot water gently over
the back of a spoon so it doesn’t disrupt the sugar and cocoa powder underneath. This
might seem like a very odd concept but all this hot water is going to seep down through
the pudding, leaving it super soft and create the perfect sauce. It’s pretty amazing.
Place the pudding into a 180C / 350F oven for 35-40 minutes or until the pudding is
bubbling up around the edge and the sponge springs back when pressed in the center. Let
it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
