Ingredients
- 150 g (1 cup) self-raising flour
- 3 tbsp good-quality cocoa, sifted, plus 3 tbsp extra
- 110 g (½ cup) caster sugar
- 125 ml (½ cup) milk
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 60 g unsalted butter, melted
- 165 g (¾ cup) dark brown sugar
- 500 ml (2 cups) hot coffee
- double cream or ice-cream, to serve
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C. Mix the flour, cocoa and caster sugar in a bowl, then pour in the milk and add the egg, stirring until it turns into a nicely mixed, wickedly dark batter. Fold in the butter, then spread evenly over the base of a 2 L square or casserole pan. Sprinkle the dark brown sugar over the top, dust with the extra cocoa, then carefully pour the hot coffee over the top.
Bake the pudding in the centre of oven for 35 minutes or until sides are bubbling. Cool a little, then serve with cream or ice-cream.
