Base
- Mix the flour, sugar and cocoa.150 g self-raising flour, 150 g sugar, 30 g cocoa
- Melt the butter and add the vanilla and milk.125 ml milk, 30 g butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Mix into the flour mixture and stir well.
- Pour the mixture into a 2 litre oven proof dish.

- Now trickle over the hot water.425 ml hot water
Bake
- Bake at 190c for about half an hour. It will probably look as if it
needs more cooking when you take it out, but it is the sauce bubbling
about. I’ve found that even the ramekins take 25-30 minutes - Serve on its own, with a splash of cream or a dollop of ice cream. It’s seriously good!
Notes
Priced at Aldi.com July 2024
I've reduced the sugar in this right down and I didn’t notice at all, it was more than sweet enough.
I used a shallow dish, if you use a deeper one, it may take longer to bake through. The original recipe
This really does serve 6, I didn't;t use an egg so it could be scaled up and down more easily.
Hollow legged teenagers could have seconds, it’s good cold, and it looks like it would freeze alright as well.
