Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding Recipe

Ingredients:

• For the Pudding:
  • 1 cup (150 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (220 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) milk
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (220 g) boiling water
• For the Sauce:
  • 1 cup (220 g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups (500 ml) hot water

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish (about 8-inch square or similar size) with butter or non-stick spray.

2. Prepare the Pudding Mixture:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.
• Add the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

3. Transfer to Baking Dish:

• Pour the pudding mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly.

4. Prepare the Sauce:

• In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and cocoa powder for the sauce. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the pudding batter in the baking dish.
• Carefully pour the hot water over the top of the mixture. Do not stir; the water will create the sauce as it bakes.

5. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.

6. Serve:

• Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. The pudding can be served warm, with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

Tips:

• Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
• Serving Suggestions: This pudding is best served warm, as the sauce is still gooey and delicious!

This Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding is a classic comfort dessert that is sure to satisfy any chocolate lover! Enjoy!
