SELF SAUCING CHOCOLATE PUDDING
One simply cant go through this freezing temperatures without atleast one
easy to make chocolate pudding.
Bake it as a large pudding or in individual ramekins or even tin cups. And serve
with a thick custard or a dollop of cream.
Simply irresistible. . .

120 g butter – soft
200 g brown sugar
2 eggs
500 ml cake flour
30 ml baking powder
60 ml cocoa powder
7 ml salt
360 ml Milk

SYRUP
1000 ml boiling water
300 ml brown sugar
60 ml cocoa powder

Cream butter with brown sugar until soft and fluffy
Add in whole eggs and combine well.
Sift cake flour, baking powder, cocoa and salt
Gently fold the dry ingredients together with the milk into the egg mixture
Pour the batter in n prepared oven dish (one that will be suitable to serve the pudding in)
Combine all the ingredients for the syrup and bring to a boil.
Pour the hot syrup over the batter mixture and bake at 180degrees for 20 - 30 minutes or until
just set.
Remove from oven and serve while still hot.

TIP: This is just a very basic recipe. You can be adventurous and add any chosen flavour to the batter recipe. Chopped nuts, chopped chocolate pieces, chopped tumbles (especially Bradbury's new minted flavoured ones) Whiskey, coffee powder, vanilla, orange zest, mint essence etc.
Bake pudding in individual molds or even coffee cups and serve them with a big dollop of fresh double cream, with toasted nuts, chopped chocolate or peppermint crisp crumbles ontop.
Soft chocolate cream, caramel ice cream of thick custard are always a winner with this.
