Chocolate Fudge Pudding

Ingredients

• 175g self-raising flour
• 100g caster sugar
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder (divided)
• 100ml milk
• 50g butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• For the sauce:
• 150g light brown sugar
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 300ml boiling water

Method

1. Mix the flour, caster sugar, and 2 tbsp cocoa powder in a bowl.
2. Stir in the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Pour into a greased slow cooker.
4. For the sauce: mix the brown sugar and remaining cocoa powder. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
5. Gently pour the boiling water over the back of a spoon onto the mixture. Don't stir.
6. Cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours until the sponge is set on top.
7. Spoon out — the fudge sauce will be underneath. Serve with ice cream or custard.

Tips

Don’t panic when you pour water over cake batter — the magic happens during cooking. The sauce sinks to the bottom.
