Eggless Self Saucing Hot Chocolate Pudding
A rich pudding with a warm molten centre, moist cakey texture and a liquid pool of chocolate floating underneath!
Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ¾ cup caster sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
Wet ingredients:
- 5 tbsp melted butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tbsp vinegar
Topping and sauce:
- 3 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1½ cup boiling water
To serve:
- Ice cream of choice
- Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 degrees F.
- Grease an 8 inch round ovenproof baking dish.
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
- Pour in the wet ingredients and fold in. Be sure not to over-mix (as this will result in a dense chewy texture).
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smoothen out with the back of a metal spoon.
- Prepare the topping by mixing together the sugars and cocoa powder. Sprinkle this all over the batter.
- Pour the boiling water over the toping and do not mix.
- Bake the pudding for 20-25 minutes until the sides are set but the centre of the cake still has a slight wobble.
