Self-saucing Chocolate Pudding

OMG!
This recipe is so nice but so unhealthy.
Be warned about the high sugar, cocoa and fat. Diabetes alert!
You can cook it any sort of oven dish as long as it has high side to stop it boiling over.
The pudding will rise and go spongy. The sauce will thicken and be absorbed by the pudding.
I have served it with orange zest and segments to cut through the sweet fatty chocolate.

Equipment:
Oven dish
Large bowl
Sieve
Wooden spoon
Spatula
Measuring cups/spoons
Small knife
Zester
Chopping board

Ingredients: (per pair)
3/4 cup plain flour and 3/4 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp cocoa
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
75g butter (melted)
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
1 orange for garnish

  1. Preheat the oven to 180ÂșC and lightly grease a 3 cup capacity oven proof dish.

  3. Make a well in the dry ingredients. 
  4. Pour in the milk, vanilla and butter and mix quickly to form a stiff mixture.
  5. Spread the batter into the prepared oven dish.
  6. Mix the boiling water, sugar and cocoa together and pour over the back of a spoon, evenly over the batter.
  7. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until the sponge is cooked. Place a tray under the oven dish to stop spillages.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool down for 5 minutes.
  9. Zest and peel the orange, slice into segments to use as garnish on the pudding.
  10. Cut and serve on a plate with orange zest and segments.
