Self-Saucing Chocolate Pudding

60g butter
1/2 cup self raising flour
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/4 cocoa
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
2 cups boiling water

Preheat oven to 180C

In a deep oven proof dish melt butter and stir in flour, caster sugar, first measure of cocoa, milk and vanilla essence. Beat until smooth.
Scatter brown sugar and second measure of cocoa over the batter in the dish and gently pour water over the top.

Cook for approx 40 minutes.

Serves 4

Note: I often add more cocoa to the batter as some brands of cocoa seem to have less cocoa content than others making a pale batter with less flavour.
