Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding

A magic pudding trick in which sugar and cocoa on top of the pudding mixture are miraculously transformed into a smooth chocolate sauce underneath it. Always a favourite with children and adults alike.

Ingredients

Sauce

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C. Grease an ovenproof dish that will hold about 6 cups.
  2. Combine the brown sugar, cocoa and cornflour for the sauce.
  3. Cream the butter, sugar, egg and vanilla together. Sift the dry ingredients together and fold into the creamed mixture.
  4. Scoop the mixture into the dish and sprinkle with the dry sauce mixture, then carefully pour over the boiling water – hold a spoon upside down over the pudding and pour the water over it to stop splashing.
  5. Bake for 35 minutes or until the pudding springs back when lightly touched.

Good recipe, added 1/2 cup of milk to the cake mixture as it looked dry and an extra cup of water for the sauce didn’t add the cornflour. Turned out perfect! Cream or ice cream on the side mmm

Needs 1/2 cup milk

It was pretty good but luckily I read the reviews about how the cake mix was to dry. so I added 1/2 a cup of milk in and it was perfect

Every time I make this people love it. BUT I find it confusing, and am never sure I’ve made it right. The cake mixture isn’t too dry, but my issue is the liquid that ends up swilling around on the top. It seems yucky and watery? I always spoon about 3/4 cup off before serving it. It seems like it should be thicker? That said, it’s always a success so I guess ‘the proof is in the pudding’ ha!

Disappointing dry not enough sauce do not understand why you have cornflour in the sauce mixture sorry but will not use it again

The recipe is missing 1/2 cup of milk in the cake batter. Would be very dry without it
