Self saucing chocolate pudding

This has been a family favorite forever!
When it is baked it is a chocolate pudding with a thick chocolate sauce under it.



Cream 60 grams of butter with 1/2 cup of sugar. Add one egg and a teaspoon of vanilla and mix well. Add 1 cup of self raising flour and 2 level tablespoons of cocoa. I like it really chocolatey so I add a tablespoon of drinking chocolate as well. Add 1/2 cup of milk. Mix well. Put the mixture in a well greased oven proof dish.



Now make a topping by combining 1/2 cup of sugar 2 level tablespoons of cocoa
( once again I also add some drinking chocolate too) mix this well and then sprinkle it over the top of your pudding.



Finally carefully spoon 1 1/2 cups of hot water very gently over it. Bake in a moderate oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
Serve with cream and a few fresh strawberries. This also works well in individual ramekins.
