Gluten Free Self Saucing Chocolate Pudding
A superbly rich and comforting gluten free self saucing chocolate pudding that's so easy to make and a real showstopper at the dinner table. This will serve 4-6 people or just me! No really! I don't normally 'do' chocolate puddings but this one I make an exception! This can also be made dairy and egg free so safe for vegans.
Servings: 6 people
Calories: 413kcal
Ingredients
- 60 g butter or butter alternative (I use Flora plant butter) I use Pure or Vitalite
- 135 g caster sugar
- 1 large egg(s) or 1tbsp flax, 3 tbsp water
- 150 g gluten free self raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 200 ml dairy free milk I use soya for it's creamy taste
For the liquid
- 250 ml water
- 200 g soft light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a large bowl cream the butter (or dairy free spread) and caster sugar until light.
- Add beaten egg (or flax egg) and milk (or milk alternative) combine
- Sift in flour, baking powder and cocoa
- TOP TIP: I always sift from a greater height, this allows air particles to attach to the flour grains, thus encouraging a more impressive rise in the bake.
- Fold in dry sifted ingredients quickly
- Pour into an oven proof dish (big enough to hold a litre of water) and put to one side.
- to make the sauce mix a little of the water with the cocoa to make a paste to reduce chance of lumps
- Add the rest of the water and sugar and pour over the cake mixture.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C | 160°C fan | 350°F | Gas 4 for 30-35mins
- Serve with custard and revel in your genius!
