David and I have just been making a chocolate self saucing pudding to have with our Sunday lunch. With all the wonderful chocolate that you can buy I'm sure you could make the most delicious pudding. I wonder if you have this old recipe - in case not - here it is.
60 gms soft butter
1/2 caster cup sugar
1 large or 2 small eggs
1 cup SR flour and 1 tablespoon cocoa sifted together
1/2 to 3/4 cup milk
dash of vanilla
Plus another 1/2 cup sugar and 2 desertspoons of cocoa mixed together for topping
Cream butter and sugar, (do this with a wooden spoon, you won't need a beater), whisk in unbeaten egg and vanilla (optional) until creamy. Fold in flour and cocoa alternately with milk.
Pour into a greased ovenproof dish and sprinkle with sugar and cocoa topping. Finally pour over 1 &1/4 cups of hot water and bake in a moderate oven for 30 - 40 minutes.
Make sure you cook in it a dish that is big enough!!
Serve with lashings of whipped cream and/or ice cream. Guess who didn't want his photo taken?

Oooh something for everyone there! I will try out the pudding recipe as we have a great brand of cocoa here - its very rich and it puts the old Bourneville to shame. But I have to buy some baking powder first - I ran out a while ago and didnt realize till I was half way through making a batch of muffins. Needless to say they were rather flat :)
