Chocolate self-saucing pudding

Indulge in the ultimate comfort dessert with this Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding. This delightful treat combines a soft and fluffy cake layer with a rich, gooey sauce that forms magically during the baking process. Perfect for chocolate lovers, this pudding is easy to make and sure to satisfy your sweet tooth any day of the week.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
100g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g
2 tsp olive oil
9g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish
- Lightly grease an ovenproof pudding dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4. Add the Dry Ingredients
- Sift in the 1/2 cup of self-raising flour and the 1/3 cup of dry cocoa powder into the egg mixture. Fold gently to combine until you have a smooth batter.
5. Incorporate the Olive Oil
- Add the 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the batter and stir until well integrated.
6. Pour the Batter
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Create the Sauce
- Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter.
8. Add Boiling Water
- Carefully pour 1 cup of boiling water over the back of a spoon held just above the pudding (to avoid disturbing the surface of the batter), ensuring that the water is evenly distributed over the top. This will create the sauce as the pudding bakes.
9. Bake
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
10. Cool Slightly
- Remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
11. Serve
- Serve warm, scooping out portions to reveal the luscious chocolate sauce underneath. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Tips:

- For an extra rich flavor, use dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder.

- Serve the pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast in temperatures.

- Ensure the water you pour over the batter is boiling hot to create a luscious sauce.

- You can add a pinch of salt to the batter to enhance the chocolate flavor.
