Chocolate self saucing puddings

This delectable dessert combines a moist chocolate cake with a luscious, self-created sauce, sure to delight your taste buds and impress your guests. Using simple ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry, you can easily whip up this comforting treat in no time.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 tsp dry cocoa powder
5g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prep the Ramekins:
- Lightly grease six individual ramekins or pudding molds with butter to prevent sticking.
3. Melt the Butter:
- In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the 1/4 cup (54g) of butter and set aside to cool slightly.
4. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the 3/4 cup (150g) sugar, 1 cup (150g) self-raising flour, and 1 tsp (5g) dry cocoa powder until well combined.
5. Add Wet Ingredients:
- Pour the melted butter and 1/2 cup (120g) of milk into the dry mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
6. Distribute Batter:
- Evenly divide the batter among the prepared ramekins.
7. Create the Sauce Layer:
- Sprinkle 1/3 cup (72g) of brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter in each ramekin.
8. Prepare the Cocoa Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine an additional teaspoon of cocoa powder with 3/4 cup of hot water, stirring until the cocoa is dissolved. (This step uses more cocoa powder than initially listed in the ingredients; if the optional extra wasn't noted, add it here).
9. Pour Over Cocoa Mixture:
- Carefully pour the cocoa mixture over the back of a spoon into each ramekin. This will help distribute the mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
10. Bake:
- Place the ramekins on a baking tray (to catch any spills) and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are firm and a skewer inserted into the middle of the pudding comes out clean.
11. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the puddings from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Tips:

- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your butter and milk are at room temperature to mix more easily and create a smoother batter.

- Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift the self-raising flour and cocoa powder to remove any lumps and ensure a light, even texture.

- Do Not Overmix: Mix your wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can result in a dense cake.

- Use a Deep Baking Dish: The batter will rise and the sauce will form underneath, so it’s important to use a baking dish with high sides.

- Serve Warm: For the best experience, serve the pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Enjoy the comforting warmth and gooey deliciousness of homemade chocolate self-saucing pudding. Perfect for chilly evenings or whenever you crave a decadent dessert, this recipe is sure to become a favorite. Remember to follow the tips to achieve the best results and relish every bite of this chocolate delight.
