1/4 cup (25g) hazelnut meal*

2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 cup (25g) cocoa, sifted

3/4 cup (165g) brown sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 cup water

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced).

Place flour, hazelnut meal, baking powder, 1 tablespoon of cocoa and 1/4 cup of brown sugar in a bowl. Whisk in milk, butter, egg and vanilla extract. Pour into a shallow 6-cup ovenproof dish.

Combine water with remaining brown sugar and cocoa in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Carefully pour over pudding batter.

Bake 25-30 minutes, until risen and crusty on top. Spoon onto serving plates. Serve with cream.

Use almond meal instead of hazelnut meal, if preferred.
Note

What is hazelnut meal?

Hazelnut meal is simply ground roasted hazelnuts – so if you cannot find this in the supermarket, simply use a blender to make your own! You can also order it online – try UncleJoes for a locally made option.
