Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease six individual ramekins or pudding molds with butter to prevent sticking.
- In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the 1/4 cup (54g) of butter and set aside to cool slightly.
- 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.
- Pour the melted butter and 1/2 cup (120g) of milk into the dry mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Evenly divide the batter among the prepared ramekins.
- Sprinkle 1/3 cup (72g) of brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter in each ramekin.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
