Self-saucing chocolate puddings

A sauce of brown sugar, cocoa and boiling water is poured over these puddings just before they're baked, which creates the luxurious self-saucing effect.

Ingredients

  • 125 g melted butter, plus extra for brushing
  • 300 g (2 cups) self-raising flour
  • 55 g (½ cup) cocoa powder
  • 220 g (1 cup firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 250 ml (1 cup) milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • icing sugar, for dusting
  • thick cream, to serve
Sauce
  • 110 g (½ cup firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 40 g (⅓ cup) cocoa powder
  • 435 ml (1¾ cups) boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C. Brush the base and sides of four 250 ml (1 cup) capacity ramekins with the extra melted butter.
  2. Sift the flour and cocoa into a large bowl, then stir in the brown sugar.
  3. Whisk the melted butter, eggs, milk and vanilla together, then add to the flour mixture and stir until smooth. Spoon the pudding mixture into the ramekins and place on a baking tray.
  4. For the sauce, combine the brown sugar and cocoa in a bowl. Add the boiling water and stir to dissolve the sugar. Slowly pour the sauce over each pudding. Bake for 25 minutes or until the mixture is bubbling around the sides and pudding is just set.
  5. To serve, dust with icing sugar and add a generous dollop of thick cream.
