Method

  1. To make the chocolate sponge pudding, heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Mix the flour, cocoa powder, ground almonds, chocolate and sugar together. Then stir the milk, butter and egg together and mix into the dry ingredients. Spoon into 6 individual ramekins or ovenproof dishes.
  2. To make the sauce, mix the sugar and cocoa powder and gradually stir in 300ml boiling water. Spoon this over the sponge mixture.
  3. Bake the puddings for 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 170C/fan 150C/gas 3 and cook for a further 10 minutes until the sponge feels firm to the touch - the sauce will be lurking underneath. Serve straight from the oven with cream.

    I have made this twice this weekend. I cooked it too long the first time and wasn't too impressed. The second time I left out the egg and added a little extra milk and butter so my egg allergic son could have some too. It worked really well.

    Easy to make and very good chocolate puddings. I will make them again. I filled 8 ramekins of 8 cm diameter each with the suggested quantities. The puddings were slightly dry when they came out of the oven. I would suggest to cook them less than the recommended time or at a lower temperature.

    Only had 4 normal sized ramekins so used a larger pyrex dish instead (about 20x15cm). Followed the recipe to the letter and it cam out perfect, looking just like the picture! Served with vanilla quark. Delicious!

    Yummy! Ab So Lute Ly delicious! I didn't make it in individual dishes but one big dish. A hell of a lot even for 6 people as its very rich so you can only have a small amount! But tasted divine, definitely will be making again!

    Very yummy pudding. The "sauce" is very runny when you make it! Like the consistency of milk. This is fine, use it. I made a second batch using only half the water because I thought it was too runny. This second batch was almost as runny as the first, despite using half the water, and the only result was less sauce in the cooked pudding. I wish recipes would describe the consistency of things like this!

    Has anyone tried freezing this dessert? If so, was it worth it?

    How does this turn out in one big dish and does it affect cooking time? I don't have individual pots unfortunately! Also, what would be the effect of halving this recipe? Thanks!
