Method
- Butter a 2-litre baking dish and heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the kettle on. Put the flour, caster sugar, 50g cocoa, baking powder, orange zest and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together the orange juice and any pulp left in the juicer, the eggs, melted butter and milk, then pour onto the dry ingredients and mix together until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chunks and scrape everything into the baking dish.
- Mix 300ml boiling water from the kettle with the sugar and cocoa for the sauce, then pour this all over the pudding batter – don’t worry, it will look very strange at this stage! Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 30 mins until the surface looks firm, risen and crisp. As you scoop spoonfuls into serving bowls, you should find a glossy, rich chocolate sauce underneath the sponge. Eat immediately with vanilla ice cream or single cream.

I made this pudding for family the other night & it was super easy & delicious ! Really orangey - I used the Divine chocolate as suggested in the ingredients & it is much nicer than other chocolate orange brands - smoother & less sickly. The pudding is rich & goes really well with a good quality vanilla icecream. For chocolate lovers only ! It also tasted good warmed thru the next day. I was thinking next time I might try a milk chocolate version & omit the orange - would be a nice adaptation to the recipe & easy. Overall - yum !
This has to be the easiest and most delicious chocolate pudding on the planet. It is absolutely divine. Made it using Terry's Chocolate Orange. Huge pudding and perfect when you have lots of people to feed. Easily serves 8. This is definitely going to appear on my list of puddings to cook over the Xmas season. It's a winner!
