This chocolate self saucing pudding is an absolute crowd pleaser. A tried and tested recipe that has been in my family for decades, you know it's a good one!
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.
