Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or a non-stick spray to ensure easy removal of the pudding after baking.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the 1/4 cup of butter. Once melted, set it aside to cool slightly.
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.
In a separate bowl, mix together the 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of self-raising flour.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Sprinkle the 3/4 cup of brown sugar evenly over the batter. Do not mix it in.
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.
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.
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.
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.
