Chocolate self-saucing pudding

Here’s an easy molten chocolate pudding that's a real crowd-pleaser. The chocolate sauce gets poured on the top, but miraculously ends up on the bottom. How do they do that?

Ingredients

• 175g/6oz unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus extra for greasing the dish
• 300g/10½oz soft light brown sugar
• 3 large free-range eggs, beaten
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 175g/6oz plain flour
• 40g/1¾oz cocoa powder, plus 2 tbsp
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Method

• Preheat the oven to 170C/150C Fan/Gas 3. Grease the inside of an ovenproof dish with a little butter and set aside.
• Cream the measured butter with 225g/8oz of the soft light brown sugar until pale and light, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula from time to time.
• Gradually add the beaten eggs, mixing well between each addition and then add the vanilla extract and mix again to combine.
• Sift the flour, 40g/1¾oz cocoa, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt into the mixture and mix again until just combined.
• Add the milk and mix again until smooth. Spoon the mixture into the prepared dish and level with the back of a spoon.
