Chocolate self-saucing puddings

Servings: 6

Metric Imperial

Ingredients

Chocolate sponge: 
1 box NOMU minimakes Chocolate Cake Batter Mix
2 large eggs
80g unsalted butter, melted and cooled

½ cup (125ml) milk 

 Self-saucing topping:  
150g brown sugar
25g cocoa powder 
1 cup boiling water

Directions

Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease 6 individual ovenproof dishes with butter or non-stick spray and place on a baking tray (see Tip).

Whisk the eggs until frothy, then whisk in the melted butter and milk until combined. Add the cake mix and whisk to form a smooth batter.

Divide the batter between your prepared dishes.

In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cocoa and sprinkle it evenly over the chocolate cake batter. Carefully pour the boiling water onto each pudding over the back of a spoon – using a spoon stops the water from gouging a hole into the cake batter.

Place the puddings in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes until just cooked through. Serve warm with plenty of ice cream and a swirl of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.

Tip: This recipe may make more or less individual puddings depending on what size dishes you have. You can also bake it in one 20cm oven dish for 25-30 minutes.
