A slow cooker makes this dessert super easy to prepare. But if you don’t have a slow cooker, that’s not a problem. See chef’s tips below to make this delectable pudding with a conventional oven.
Ingredients
Method
Grease the bowl of a 4.5L slow cooker with melted butter.
Put milk, extra butter and egg in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth. Stir in vanilla and caster sugar.Â
Sift flour and ½ of the cocoa into a separate large bowl. Gradually add milk mixture, stirring until smooth. Stir in chocolate bits. Spoon into prepared slow-cooker bowl.Â
Put brown sugar, remaining cocoa and boiling water in a medium bowl. Stir until smooth. Pour mixture evenly over the back of a large spoon, over batter. Cover and cook on high for 2½ hours, or on low for 5 hours, or until cake is firm. Stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice-cream.Â
No slow cooker?
You can make this chocolate self-saucing pudding using a three-litre oval, ovenproof casserole dish instead. Using the same ingredients and recipe, bake, covered, at 180°C for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.Â
