Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding is a classic dessert that everyone should know!
One batter magically transforms into a moist chocolate cake with a beautiful chocolate sauce.
Quick enough for a midweek treat, and a crowd pleaser for dinner parties.

It seems that this week was Comfort Food Week here on RecipeTin Eats and I missed the memo.
When I was younger, I was so fascinated with self saucing puddings.
I always thought they were magical.
Eyes light up at the sight of all thatchocolate sauce!!!
I should qualify that statement actually, its a little more than one batter.
But not much more!
All it takes is sprinkling sugar + cocoa on top of the batter and pouring over hot water.
), and it reduces down to become a sauce.
You see in the photo above how I am pouring the hot water over the back of a spoon?
Im not an expert at this part.
Mind you, sludge still tastes fabulous!
Its just a matter of preference.
So because I use slightly more water, the top of my pudding is not as perfectly smooth.
Less water = smoother surface = less sauce.
But thick, not watery.
But tradition is to use a spoon to serve Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding.
Scoop out big dollops of it so you get cake and sauce in each spoonful.
It doesnt look as neat as slicing, but thats the way its supposed to be.

Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding is just made with cocoa powder, no chocolate.
Im sure there are richer versions around with the addition of chocolate chips.
But the traditional way is so darn good, I have no urge to stray!
Easy enough for midweek.
And a crowd pleaser for company.
I am totally and utterly in love with Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding!
