Margaret Fultons Chocolate Sauce Pudding

[zebraa]

Awesome. Could play with flavours a bit but the texture and ease etc is fantabulous. I was going to give up on self-saucing puddings as I just don't think the baked version gives the best texture but ohhhh la la - this is perfection itself. Actually, I will tweak it with Steph Alexanders Chock Hazlenut one - that is divine flavourwise - very intense.

Serves 4-6

Pud
30g butter
1/2 c caster sugar - 115g
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1 egg
1 c sr flour - 150g
2 tsp cocoa powder
1/s tsp salt
1/2 c milk - 125g

Sauce
1/2 c sugar - 110g
2 ts cocoa powder
1 1/2 c hot water - 375ml

In TMX

sugar S8 5 secs to make caster
add butter and vanilla S5 till creamed
add egg - S5 till creamy - may need to scrape down sides
add salt and cocoa and mix on s4
still on S4 add flour and milk alternately

Pop into a greased pudding dish. Sprinkle sugar and cocoa over and then hot water

Fill TMX to about 500-700ml (take care it doesn't bubble over or run dry) with boiling water then pop the varoma on. I can't fit the pudding basin lid on so I just put baking paper on it and it works fine. Varoma temp 1 hour S2-4

Serve with cream. You could do individual ones - prob 30 mins to cook?

I usually bake self-saucing puddings but I have found that steaming them improves them out-of-site. The end result is to die for!

JGray - The pudding was good, not sure about the taste - bit bland, will definitely try ground choc instead of cocoa powder next time and maybe a bit of coffee.

zebra - Yes I use a lot more cocoa then the recipe says now. I have added cinnamon and nutmeg but the family prefer chocolate.

Wow, this sounds right up my street, as they say.Thanks so much for posting it. I might even try it today.
Would some kind soul kindly translate the cups to grams for me please? I find these so confusing, especially with liquid and solid being different, to say nothing of Australian and American.
This pud sounds just right for a freezing UK where the snow is falling - yet again.

Have you tried baking these?
Wouldn't it be a little quicker?
Just wondering.

Hi Amanda,

I usually bake self-saucing puddings but I have found that steaming them improves them out-of-site. The end result is to die for! Ande I ususally bake them for 45 mins or so anyway so not much of a difference time wise,

[cookie1]

I usually bake mine too. I will have to try steaming the next one.

yummy

It is a cold wed afternoon here in Canberra and I thought a nice steamed chocolate pudding would be perfect, however I have no cocoa powder, do you think if I ground up some cooking chocolate that would substitute?

Thanks JG

I can't see why you can't use chocolate JG.A forum member called Bron always said improvise if you didn't have a certain ingredient

[astarra]

My DH would love my TM  more than ever if I made this for him! 
His fave pudding ever!
Will put onto my to-do list! (which seems to grow faster than I cross them off!) 

[achookwoman]

I usually bake it, also.  I double the sauce and we like the crunchy bits on top.

Thanks for this, as it turned out DH went out and did mini midweek fruit top up and got me some Cocoa pwd.  The pudding was good, not sure about the taste bit bland, will definitely try ground choc next time and maybe a bit of coffee.

Thanks. JG
