It's a chocolate cake. It's a chocolate pudding with a luscious sauce. It's made from just one batter. It's magical. And its official name is Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding. Chocolate lovers from around the world, please meet your new best friend aka the magical, gooey Chocolate Self Sauce Pudding.

Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding

If you're a regular reader around here, you probably know about me and my love for all things chocolate.

I can't go more than a few days without posting a chocolate recipe on my blog, and that's because I think in some other life, chocolate and I were soul mates.

Love at first sight, you know, or should I say love at first taste? ๐Ÿ˜‰

So let's talk about this beautiful Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding, a bit more shall we?

I could talk about chocolate all day long.

So this is truly a magical recipe.

No, no don't worry the chocolate hasn't gone to my head. But I like to call it magical, because we only make ONE batter for this recipe, yet it turns into two separate layers...a soft chocolatey cake base, and my favorite part: a fudgy chocolate sauce!

Yay, yay!

So it's kind like molten lava cakes, BUT it's made in one dish and there's a whole lot of it. Also, it's less fussy than molten lava cakes are.

Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding

There are just a couple of things you should watch out for when making this Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding, so I've outlined these tips below for you!

Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding

How to Make It

1.) Start by pre boiling the water for the chocolate sauce in a kettle.

2.) There are two parts to making the Self Saucing Chocolate Pudding: the cake batter & the chocolate sauce/pudding element. The cake batter is fairly simple to make.

Just mix together the dry ingredients, and then add in the wet ingredients. Then pour this cake batter into the prepared baking dish.

3.) For the chocolate sauce/fudge element of the recipe, you first have to sprinkle a mix of dry ingredients onto the surface of the cake batter. This includes white granulated sugar, brown sugar and cocoa powder.

Once you've sprinkled this magical mix onto the cake batter surface, you pour over boiling water on the entire surface of baking dish.

DO NOT MIX OR STIR IN THE WATER AFTER YOU POUR IT OVER THE CAKE BATTER SURFACE.

During baking, the top surface will sink to the bottom of the dish, and the cake batter will rise into a cake. Hence, the top surface will transform into a fudgy chocolate sauce.

4.) Do not over bake the cake.

It will take about 35 minutes in the oven, and the centre will be almost set, but not completely. It will have a slight jiggle to it.

And that's about it...in about 45 minutes this delicious, mouthwatering and ooey gooey Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding will be ready for you.

And then you can thank me once you've had the blissful experience of tasting this divine dessert.

You're welcome! ๐Ÿ˜›
