Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup of finely chopped hazelnuts.
3. Add Sugars:
- Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- Add the melted butter and milk to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
6. Create the Sauce:
- Sprinkle the extra 2 tablespoons of roughly chopped hazelnuts evenly over the top of the batter.
7. Bake the Pudding:
- Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the pudding has risen and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool Slightly:
- Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes. This will allow the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld.
9. Serve:
- Serve the Choc-Hazelnut Self-Saucing Pudding warm. Optional: top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
10. Enjoy:
- Dig in and enjoy the rich, gooey chocolate pudding with a delicious hazelnut texture and flavor.
