Okay:
Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding
150g self-raising flour
2 lightly-heaped tbsp cocoa powder
45g ground almonds
200g light muscovado
75g dark choc, finely chopped
200mL milk
Large knob (about 25g) of butter, melted
Few drops vanilla extract
1 large egg
for the sauce
175g golden caster sugar
75g cocoa powder
500mL freshly boiled water
Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan/G4
Lightly butter baking dish (approx 1.5L capacity)
Put flour, cocoa, almonds, muscovado and chocolate in a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl whisk together milk, butter, vanilla and egg
Pour milk mix into dry ingredients, stir thoroughly, and pour into buttered dish.
For sauce, mix together golden caster sugar and cocoa powder and scatter over the batter in the dish. Pour the 500mL freshly boiled (not boiling) water into the dish.
Place in oven for 40 mins until top is springy. Leave to settle for 10 minutes (essential!) before serving.
Enjoy! Might just have to give this a go. I've done Nigella's sticky toffee one, with the same strange boiled water technique, and that was okay, though not a patch on the Cartmel Village Shop one. Think they do a chocolate one as well, btw!
