Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Put the flour, cocoa, chocolate and caster sugar in a bowl. Mix together the butter, egg, milk, orange zest and stir into the dry ingredients. Divide the mix between 6 small ovenproof dishes (about 250ml each).
  2. For the sauce, mix the sugar and cocoa, then divide between the tops of the puds. Boil a kettle and pour approx 3 tbsp boiling water over each pud. Bake for 25 minutes. You will end up with sponge on top and choc sauce underneath.
  3. Finish with a dollop of crème fraîche and extra orange zest if you like.

    Wonderful pudding. I wasn't convinced that the three table spoons of water floating on the top would make it to the bottom, but it did. Yummie chocolate top and lovely saucy bit on the bottom. First time I made it was for Mum and Dad's Anniversary Meal. Thought Mum was forgiving enough if it did't turn out as expected. I worried for nothing. Having a Dinner Party next weekend, so its back on the menu. The only thing I did different was grate the chocolate. I wasn't sure that chopping it would make it mix ok. I would be interested in other comments if somebody does only chop the chocolate

    I really can't work out how or where this went wrong...but it really did! I followed the recipe to the letter but the puddings exploded in the oven, there was no chocolately sauce underneath and they were burned on top...very disappointing!

    I have made this pudding twice and it has been really good. I melted the chocolate in the microwave and then mixed it in. Everyone who has tried it wants the recipe, it has been a big hit.
