Black Magic Chocolate Pudding

Method

• step 1

  Heat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4. Grease a two-pint souffle dish or other ovenproof bowl. (I found you need a bigger than two-pint souffle dish or the pudding will ooze out over the side while cooking)

• step 2

  Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar and a fat pinch of salt in a bowl.

• step 3

  Beat the milk, butter, egg and vanilla extract together and mix into the flour and cocoa.

• step 4

  Scrape the mixture into the souffle dish. Prinkle the topping ingredients over the pudding and pour the boiling water over the top.

• step 5

  Bake for 35-40 minutes. Serve while hot.
