Self-saucing chocolate pudding

Indulge in a decadent dessert that combines the richness of chocolate with a delightful sauce that forms all by itself during baking. Self-saucing chocolate pudding is a simple yet show-stopping treat perfect for any occasion. With just a few ingredients and easy steps, you can create a luscious dessert that will impress your friends and family.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
3/4 cup brown sugar
170g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or a non-stick spray to ensure easy removal of the pudding after baking.
3. Melt the Butter:
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the 1/4 cup of butter. Once melted, set it aside to cool slightly.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the 1/2 cup of milk, the melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, mix together the 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of self-raising flour.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Prepare Topping:
Sprinkle the 3/4 cup of brown sugar evenly over the batter. Do not mix it in.
8. Add Hot Water:
Gently pour 1.5 to 2 cups of hot water over the batter and brown sugar mixture. This will create the "saucing" effect as it bakes. Do not stir the water in.
9. Bake:
Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The top should be firm, and a toothpick inserted into the cake portion should come out clean.
10. Cool and Serve:
Allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes before serving. The dessert will have a pudding-like sauce at the bottom with a cake-like topping on top.
11. Enjoy:
Serve warm, and optionally pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Tips:

- Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature to ensure even baking.

- Use room temperature ingredients, especially the butter, for a smoother batter.

- Don't overmix the batter; combine just until the ingredients are incorporated to keep the pudding light and fluffy.

- For an extra chocolatey experience, you can add some chocolate chips to the batter.

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

Self-saucing chocolate pudding is a delightful and easy dessert that leverages the magic of baking to create its own sauce. By following a few simple tips and using basic pantry ingredients, you can enjoy a rich and gooey chocolate treat that's sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Serve it warm for a cozy and comforting end to your meal.
