Chocolate pudding

I made my first chocolate pudding ever! It was awesome. I can't believe the syrup was on top and then it is at the bottom and a cake appears on top. I got excited! I got the recipe from taste.com.au

Here it is: Preparation Time
15 minutes
Cooking Time
45 minutes


Ingredients (serves 6)


Melted butter, to grease
150g (1 cup) self-raising flour
100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
2 tbs cocoa powder
125ml (1/2 cup) milk
50g butter, melted
1 egg, lightly whisked
Chocolate sauce
155g (3/4 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
2 tbs cocoa powder
375ml (1 1/2 cups) boiling water


Method


Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush a 1.5L (6-cup) capacity ovenproof dish with melted butter to lightly grease.


Combine the flour, sugar and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Make a well in the centre. Combine the milk, butter and egg in a large jug. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until well combined. Pour into the prepared dish and use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.


To make the chocolate sauce, sift the sugar and cocoa powder into a bowl. Sprinkle over the pudding mixture in the dish. Gently pour the boiling water over the cocoa mixture.


Bake in oven for 40-45 minutes or until a cake-like top forms and a skewer inserted halfway into the centre comes out clean. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Serve with thickened cream, if desired.
