Chocolate Pudding

Pudding

• ¾ cup self raising flour (3oz/85g)
• 2 tbsp cocoa
• 1½ tspn instant coffee
• pinch of salt
• 4oz butter/marg (115g)
• ⅔ cup caster sugar (4oz/115g)
• 2 eggs (slightly beaten)
• 1 tspn vanilla essence
• 1-2 tbsp milk

Sift the flour, cocoa, coffee and salt together into a large mixing bowl.

Cream the butter and sugar and gradually add eggs and vanilla along with a little of the dry mixture.

Fold in the rest of the dry mixture and milk and stir until it is at a fairly soft consistancy.

Pour into an oven dish.

Sauce:

• ⅔ cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
• 1 tbsp cocoa
• 1 cup hot water

Mix the cocoa and brown sugar into a bowl and stir in the hot water and mix until smooth.

Pour onto the sponge mix over the back of a spoon (so as not to create a hole in the middle of the sponge mixture).

Bake for 40 minutes at 190°C.
