Ingredients

Dad's chocolate self-saucing pudding

2 tablespoon melted butter

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

1 cup flour

2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup sugar

2 tablespoon cocoa

To finish

3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

4 tablespoon cocoa

13/4 cup 1 3/4 hot water

Method

1.Combine the melted butter, milk and vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cocoa. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients. Mix well until you have a rather thick batter. Spread the butter in the bottom of an ungreased pan (I use a two-litre casserole dish).

2.Sprinkle the brown sugar and cocoa over the sponge batter. Then pour the boiling water over the back of a spoon onto the batter.

3.Place in a 180°C oven for 45 minutes. When cooked, it will have turned into a lovely dark chocolate sponge, drenched with delicious sauce.
