Ingredients
Scale
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) milk
- 40 g butter, chopped
- 60 g milk chocolate, chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 150 g (1 cup) self-raising flour
- 155 g (3/4 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
- 1 egg, lightly whisked
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) Baileys Irish Cream liqueur, plus extra to drizzle
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 250 ml (1 cup) boiling water
- Whipped cream or ice-cream, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and grease a 2L (8-cup) capacity baking dish.
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk, butter, and chopped milk chocolate. Heat gently over low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat, whisk in the vanilla, and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, sift the flour and 55 g (1/4 cup) of the brown sugar. Make a well in the center and add the egg and the melted chocolate mixture. Fold gently with a large metal spoon until combined, then pour into the prepared dish and smooth the top.
- In a jug, mix the Baileys, cocoa powder, and remaining 100 g (1/2 cup) brown sugar. Pour in the boiling water and stir with a fork until the sugar dissolves.
- Carefully pour the Baileys mixture over the back of a spoon onto the pudding batter to form a sauce layer.
- Place the dish on a baking tray and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is firm to touch and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
- Let the pudding stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream and an extra drizzle of Baileys.
