Melting Chocolate Pudding Recipe

Melting Chocolate Pudding

Ingredients
Serves: 2

50g chocolate, minimum 70% cacao
50g unsalted butter, plus extra to grease
1 egg
1 egg yolk
60g caster sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
50g plain flour


Preparation method
Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 15 mins
1. Heat oven to 160 degrees / Gas 4.
2. Break the chocolate into squares and melt it with the butter in a bowl over a saucepan of hot water. Take off the heat and leave to cool.
3. Whisk the egg, egg yolk and sugar with an electric mixer until well mixed.
4. Butter 2 ramekins, about 75mm in diameter. Dust well with the cocoa powder, then shake off any excess.
5. Whisk the cooled chocolate mixture into the eggs and sugar mixture.
6. Sift the flour over the mixture, then fold in. Divide between the 2 ramekins.
7. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
8. Run a knife around the edge of each cake and turn out onto plates.

Tip
When taking the cakes out of the oven, expect the cakes to still appear a little bit wet on the top and be a bit wobbly. So take care when running the knife around the edge of the cakes.

Tip
There will be quite a lot of the melted part in the middle. If you'd prefer more cake and less sauce in the middle, cook for an extra 2 to 3 minutes.
