How to Make Self Saucing Chocolate Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
  2. Grease and flour an 8-cup ovenproof dish (approximately 20cm x 20cm).
  3. Sift together 150g plain flour, 150g caster sugar, and 40g unsweetened cocoa powder into a large bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 200ml milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla essence, and 50g melted unsalted butter. Add this to the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
  6. In a small bowl, combine 50g brown sugar and 20g unsweetened cocoa powder.
  7. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cocoa mixture evenly over the batter.
  8. Carefully pour 200ml boiling water evenly over the top of the pudding mix. Do this slowly to avoid splattering.
  9. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Dust with icing sugar or serve with whipped cream, if desired.
