• 50 g (60 ml) butter or margarine at room temperature.
Sauce:
• 250 ml water (I add 100 ml extra for more moisture).
• 250 ml brown sugar
• 25 ml cocoa
• 2 ml cinnamon
Method:
STEP 2: Sieve the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt together.
STEP 3: Mix the brown sugar, butter/maragrine and egg together.
It should then look like this.
STEP 4: Add the milk, but don’t freak out, the mixture will separate.
STEP 5: Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix well.
It should look like this when mixed.
STEP 6: Use non-stick spray on a 2-litre deep bowl (microwavable) and pour the mixture into it.
STEP 7: Gather your sauce ingredients.
STEP 8: Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a different microwavable bowl.
STEP 9: Microwave for 5 minutes in an open, deep bowl and stir every now and then.
STEP 10: I forgot to take a picture, but gently pour the boiling sauce over the batter, using the underside of a tablespoon. Cover the bowl with clear plastic wrap and place it on an overturned saucer in the microwave.
STEP 11: Microwave the pudding for 4 minutes on high. Leave to rest for five minutes. If you want, you can overturn the bowl into an empty dish (with sides). I like to keep it in the bowl and dish from there.
