Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

    Oh my god, this is chocolate heaven!! Went down a treat at a recent dinner party. Easy to make and I was able to prepare a few hours in advance up to the pouring the boiling water mixture on stage. We had some left over (amazingly!) and ate it cold the next day - just as delicious! A definite keeper in my recipe collection.

    Dangerously delicious! Avoided being over-sweet by using plain dark chocolate chunks (not milky or extra orange).

    Amazed I could make this in my slow cooker (saves electricity if putting the main oven on just to cook a pud). Tastes wonderful and extremely rich and chocolatey, lasted for two nights for 5 of us so double the treat! Will certainly be making a pud in the slow cooker again, possibly the treacle sponge next! Thank you Good Food for giving me new ideas.

    So easy to make - did it while the veg for Sunday lunch was cooking! I'll definitely add more orange zest (and maybe a splash of cointreau) next time and didn't think it was orangey enough but delicious none the less.

    Really tasty! My oven broke down near the end of cooking so was a bit soft in the middle however It was still a real treat! Though it's a BIG pudding, probably better for a party than just me and my husband!

    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!

    Absolutely delicious and very easy to make. Everyone loved it! Made it ahead and so served it cold with icecream as no-one wanted theirs heated, delicous - will try it warm next time. Sure to become a favourite!

    This looks gorgeous. Does anyone know if it's ok to make everything up the day before and keep in the fridge overnight, then mix and bake the following day?

    I don't really understand the hype about this recipe. It's a perfectly decent pudding, but nothing special. If you are looking for something rich and decadent, this isn't it. It's tasty, moist, but not like something you would have a really good restaurant.

    How can this be so tasty and yet so easy?? Absolutely beautiful. Don't worry when you first make it - yes, it should look like this before you put in oven.

    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 !
