Ingredients
 

Pudding

  • 5 ¼ oz all purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup milk
  • 4 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg

Sauce

  • ¼ cup cocoa
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ½ cups boiling water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat over to 180C/350F

Pudding

  • Sift all purpose flour, baking powder, sugar and cocoa powder into a large bowl.
  • Add the vanilla, milk and butter and mix together until well combined.
  • Lightly grease your baking dish with butter, and fold out the batter mixture into the pan.
  • Smooth out with a spatula until it's even. 

Sauce

  • Combine the cocoa and sugar.
  • Sprinkle the sugar and cocoa over the pudding. 
  • Very carefully, pour the boiling water into the pudding mixture. Pour it over the back of a dessert spoon to avoid dents in the pudding.

Cooking

  • Place the dish on baking tray to avoid spillage.
  • Place in oven and bake 30-40 minutes, or until pudding is cooked through. To test if it's cooked, take a knife and skewer the middle, the knife should come out clear.
  • Serve immediately with berries and ice cream.
