Grandma’s self-saucing chocolate pudding
This chocolate pudding recipe has been in my family for generations. Originally passed down from my great, great aunt Lay, it’s a favourite in our household as it’s surprisingly quick and easy to make. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients:
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa, plus ¼ cup extra for topping
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup walnuts (optional)
- 1 ¾ cup hot water, not boiling
- ¾ cup brown sugar
Method:
- Mix all dry ingredients, except the brown sugar and topping cocoa, in a big bowl. Add milk and melted butter and combine. Pour mixture into a greased ceramic baking dish.
- Combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl, include the ¼ cup of extra cocoa and brown sugar. Sprinkle this dry mixture on top of the pudding.
- Using an upside down spoon, pour the hot water over the top of the pudding so that the spoon allows the water to sit on top.
- Bake in the over at 180 degrees Celsius for 50 minutes. When you take the pudding out the oven, it should be crispy on top and gooey in the centre. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.
