Just
when you thought I'd forgotten all about it.
This
next extract from The Little Book of Chocolat by Joanne Harris and
Fran Warde is definitely in the top ten for chocoholics, so,
without further adieu :
Marianne's
Chocolate Pudding
This
rich, double chocolate pudding is named after my editor, a true
chocoholic, who can always be relied upon to choose the most
indulgent chocolate desserts (while I tend to opt for the cheese
board!).
Takes
1 hour/ serves 6-8
butter
for greasing dish
75g
unrefined caster sugar
40g
butter, soft
1
egg
40g
cocoa powder
150g
self raising flour
120ml
milk
Sauce
180 unrefined soft brown sugar
200ml water
40g cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Heat oven to 160fan/180c/Gas 4. Rub the inside of a 1 litre
ovenproof dish with a little butter.
In a bowl, place the sugar, butter and egg and whisk until
blended. Add the cocoa powder and flour along with a little milk and
blend until smooth. Add the remaining milk and mix in, then transfer
to the buttered baking dish.
To make the sauce, place the sugar, water and cocoa in a small
saucepan. Heat gently and mix until dissolved. Add the vanilla
extract, pour over the top of the cake mixture, place in the middle
of the oven and cook for 30 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
Hold that thought!
