Baked Chocolate Pudding

Picture
This is every chocolate lover's dream - rich, crumbly and ever so gooey!
The batter has an intense chocolate taste with a good texture and the sauce is really rich, sticky and very yummy.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, or just eat it as is.




Ingredients:
Preheat oven to 180°C.  Baking time: 30 minutes.
Batter
200ml    sugar
100gr    butter
1large     egg
½ tsp    vanilla essence

250ml    cake flour
90ml    coco powder
3tsp    baking powder
5ml    salt
175ml    milk

Cream butter and sugar, add the egg and essence. Beat well.
Sift together all dry ingredients.
Add dry ingredients and milk alternately to butter mixture while beating.
Spoon batter into greased baking dish.

Sauce
375ml    water
100ml    coco powder
250ml    sugar

Mix together in a pot and bring to the boil.
Gently pour over the dough.
Bake for 30 minutes in a moderate oven .  170° -180°C
The pudding must still have a wobble in the centre - it will set while cooling slightly before being served and have a good sauce at the bottom.
