Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding

Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding is a very popular dessert in Australia. This is an old classic recipe I wrote down in my recipe book decades ago. It requires a scary amount of Sugar. You can reduce the amount slightly. I have once halved the amount, but the pudding was not very tasty. You need a reasonable amount of Sugar for this dessert.

Ingredient

Food ration :

6 Servings

Cooking time :

40 minutes

1 cup

Self-Raising Flour

1/2 teaspoon

Bi-carb Soda *optional

2 tablespoons

Cocoa Powder

1/2 cup

Brown Sugar *OR Caster Sugar

1 pinch

Salt

Egg

1/2 cup

Milk

1 teaspoon

Vanilla Extract

60 g

Butter *melted

1 cup

Brown Sugar *OR Caster Sugar, can be reduced to 3/4 cup

2 tablespoons

Cocoa Powder *OR 4 tablespoons for stronger flavour

& 1/2 cups Boiling Water

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

*You need 2L capacity baking dish. If your baking dish is smaller, Sauce bubbles up and might overflow. You can reduce the amount of Boiling Water and Sugar, but that means you will have less Sauce.

* Step 2

Preheat oven to 180℃.

* Step 3

Whisk to combine Self-Raising Flour, Bi-carb Soda, Cocoa Powder, Sugar and Salt in a mixing bowl. Add Egg, Milk, Vanilla and melted Butter, and mix until smooth. Spoon the batter into a baking dish and spread evenly.

* Step 4

For the Sauce, combine Sugar and Cocoa Powder in a small bowl, and sprinkle the mixture over the batter evenly.

* Step 5

Gently pour Boiling Water over the Sugar mixture using a large spoon. What you have to do is pour the Boiling Water on to the large spoon, so that Boiling Water won’t hit the batter directly.

* Step 6

Bake for 30 minutes OR until cooked through. *Note: Place the baking dish on a baking tray, if you concern the sauce overflowing. 1.7L capacity baking dish was used in the photo below, and you can see the sauce overflowed slightly.
