Ingredients
Scale
- 185 ml (3/4 cup) Milk
- 80 g Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 225 g (1 1/2 cups) Self-raising flour
- 155 g (3/4 cup, firmly packed) Brown sugar
- 30 g (1/4 cup) Cocoa powder
- 2 Eggs, lightly whisked
- 3 x 100 g Lindt Excellence Smooth Blend 70% Cocoa Mild Dark chocolate blocks
- Cream or ice-cream, to serve (optional)
- 140 g (2/3 cup, firmly packed) Brown sugar
- 30 g (1/4 cup) Cocoa powder
- 375 ml (1 1/2 cups) Boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and lightly grease a 6 cm-deep, 20 x 30 cm baking dish.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk, butter, and vanilla extract. Microwave on high for 1–2 minutes until the butter melts. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Whisk the self-raising flour, brown sugar, and cocoa powder into the cooled butter mixture until smooth.
- Add the eggs and whisk gently until combined, then pour the batter into the prepared dish. Place the dish on a baking tray to catch any drips.
- Combine the brown sugar, cocoa powder, and boiling water in a heatproof jug and stir until smooth.
- Carefully pour the sauce over the back of a large metal spoon onto the pudding batter so it floats on top without mixing.
- Bake for 25 minutes, then gently place the three chocolate blocks on top of the pudding to cover the surface.
- Bake for another 1–2 minutes, until the chocolate softens and begins to melt into a glossy layer.
- Serve warm, spooning through the sponge and sauce, with cream or ice-cream on the side.
