Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small baking dish or individual ramekins.
2. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 2 tbsp butter in the microwave until fully melted. Let it cool slightly.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the 1/3 cup milk and the beaten egg to the melted butter. Whisk until well combined.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup self-raising flour, and 2 tbsp cocoa powder.
5. Blend Ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
6. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or evenly divide it among the ramekins.
7. Prepare Sauce Layer:
- For single dish: In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup brown sugar and 2 tbsp cocoa powder.
- If necessary, scale up for ramekins: Adjust the quantity if using multiple servings.
8. Add Hot Water: Carefully pour 1 1/4 cups (300ml) boiling water over the top of the pudding batter. This will form the sauce as the pudding bakes.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish or ramekins in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and firm. Be careful not to overcook as the sauce should be gooey.
10. Serve: Let the pudding cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Tips:

- Make sure to use self-raising flour to get the right texture and rise for the pudding.

- Don't overmix the batter; mix until just combined to keep the pudding light and airy.

- Use good quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.

- Serve the pudding warm for the best experience as the sauce will be at its perfect consistency.

- Pair the pudding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
