Olivers Chocolate Pudding

This is our all-time favourite family desert....so when we had our roast turkey dinner yesterday there was only one choice for pudding; (none of us like the traditional plum pud!) and its alot quicker & easier to make.

You need 1 cup Self Raising Flour, 2 tbsns cocoa, 125g butter, 1 cup caster sugar, 2 eggs, half tspn vanilla and 2 tspsns milk.
You;- sift the flour & cocoa onto a plate. Cream butter & sugar. Add eggs & vanilla. Fold in flour & milk. Spoon into dish (I use a large ceramic bowl - you need plenty of space for it to rise). Spread top evenly.
You then pour a chocolate sauce onto the top of the mixture. You need 1 cup soft brown sugar & 2 level tbspns cocoa. Mix together and stir in 8 fl oz hot water - stir until smooth then pour over cake mix. Bake 190 degrees c for about 40 mins. Serves 6. This is lovely served in little teacups with fresh cream or icecream.
