Self Saucing Chocolate Pudding








Self saucing pudding, I saw them on the Great British Bake off with great awe, I couldn't do that could I ? surely not. I was utterly amazed how it works after all, it is like be a wizard in the kitchen

Ingredients
  • 150g self raising flour
  • 165g caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 125ml milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract/ or to make it different try an orange flavouring which would work really well with the cocoa.











  • 30g butter melted
  • 150g dark brown soft sugar
  • 1 egg 
  • 4 tablespoons of a good quality cocoa powder
  • 425ml hot water
Method

Preheat oven to 180°C. 


Grease an rectangular  ovenproof baking dish. Sift flour and cocoa into a large bowl. 

Stir in sugar.



Mix the butter, milk and egg in a jug, add the vanilla.


Next slowly  add to flour mixture, whisking until well combined and smooth. Spoon into baking dish. Smooth top with the back of a metal spoon.





Slowly pour  boiling water over the back of a large metal spoon to cover pudding.( This is the magic part ) 


Place dish onto a baking tray. Bake for 35  minutes or slightly less if you have a fan assisted oven  or until pudding bounces back when pressed gently in centre. 

Serve hot  in little ramekins with clotted  cream.
