Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Grease a heatproof pudding mold or a deep baking dish with some butter and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the cocoa powder until fully combined and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
4. In another bowl, combine the sugar and canola oil. Add in the cooled butter-cocoa mixture and mix until smooth.
5. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
1. Pour the batter into the prepared pudding mold or baking dish. Cover the top with a piece of greased aluminum foil or a tight-fitting lid to prevent water from getting in.
2. Place the mold or dish into a large pot with a tight-fitting lid that can fit it comfortably. Fill the pot with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the mold.
3. Cover the pot with its lid and bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and steam the pudding for about 1.5 to 2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure the water level doesn't drop too low. Add more boiling water if necessary.
4. To check for doneness, insert a skewer or toothpick into the center of the pudding. If it comes out clean, the pudding is ready.
1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream and maple syrup over medium heat until it just begins to boil.
2. Remove from heat immediately and add the dark chocolate pieces. Let it sit for 2 minutes to soften.
3. Stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Let the ganache cool slightly to thicken.
1. Once the pudding is done, carefully remove the mold from the pot and let it cool slightly before unmolding.
2. Place the warm chocolate steamed pudding on a serving plate and generously drizzle with the ganache.
3. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and dark chocolate for the best results. The quality of these ingredients will greatly impact the flavor and texture of the pudding and ganache.
- Ensure that the pudding is steamed at a consistent temperature. Boiling the water too vigorously can cause the pudding to cook unevenly.
- Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the pudding. This will help it set better and give it a smoother finish.
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can substitute it with a mixture of 1 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for a few minutes before using.
- For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a splash of espresso or coffee to the ganache. Coffee enhances the chocolate flavor and adds depth to the ganache.
- Be sure to grease the pudding mold or basin well to prevent sticking. This will make it easier to remove the pudding once it is fully cooked.
This chocolate steamed pudding with ganache offers a delightful end to any meal. The moist, chocolatey pudding paired with the silky ganache makes for a truly unforgettable dessert. Whether you're serving it for a dinner party or enjoying it on a cozy night in, this recipe is sure to impress and satisfy any chocolate lover.
