Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
2 tsp vanilla extract
8g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
1/3 cup walnuts
72g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish or a similar sized dish.
2. Melt the Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat or microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, and the cocoa powder. Add the chopped walnuts and mix well.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and no lumps remain, being careful not to overmix.
6. Prepare for Sauce: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter.
7. Hot Water Addition: Gently pour 1 cup of hot water over the back of a spoon onto the mixture in the baking dish. This helps to evenly distribute the water across the top without disturbing the batter.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is firm and cracked and there is a layer of gooey chocolate sauce at the bottom.
9. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, scooping out portions to reveal the saucy center. You can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra indulgence.

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before you start preparing the ingredients.

- Make sure to use a high-quality cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor.

- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

- Toast the walnuts on a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes to enhance their flavor before adding them to the pudding.

- When combining the wet and dry ingredients, be careful not to overmix to ensure your pudding stays light and fluffy.

- Serve the pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
