Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 0.333 cup caster sugar
  • 0.25 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • pinch sea salt
  • 0.5 cup milk full fat
  • 50 g butter melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup cocoa powder
  • 1.25 cups boiling water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C conventional (150°C fan-forced). Grease a 1.25 litre baking dish with butter.
    50 g butter
  • Start with the topping. Combine the brown sugar and cocoa powder in a bowl. Crush any lumps with a fork. Don’t pour in the boiling water yet. That is used later. Set aside.
    1 cup brown sugar, 0.25 cup cocoa powder
  • For the batter: Combine the dry ingredients first – plain flour, baking powder, caster sugar, cocoa powder and salt. Stir well.
    1 cup plain flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 0.333 cup caster sugar, 0.25 cup cocoa powder, pinch sea salt
  • In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients – milk, butter, egg and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
    0.5 cup milk, 50 g butter, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Mix the wet ingredients into the dry and combine well. The batter will be quite thick.
    1 cup plain flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 0.333 cup caster sugar, 0.25 cup cocoa powder, pinch sea salt, 0.5 cup milk, 50 g butter, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pour the batter into the baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle over the topping evenly so that all areas are well covered.
    1 cup plain flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 0.333 cup caster sugar, 0.25 cup cocoa powder, pinch sea salt, 0.5 cup milk, 50 g butter, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 cup brown sugar, 0.25 cup cocoa powder
  • Slowly and carefully, pour the boiling water over the back of a large metal spoon to cover the pudding (see video). Place the dish on a baking tray. Bake for 30–35 Minuten or until the pudding bounces back when pressed gently in the centre.
    1.25 cups boiling water
  • Serve with good quality vanilla ice cream. OMG, yum!
