Preparation

What You Need

1 3/4 cups (430 ml) milk

1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar

1/4 cup (60 ml) cocoa powder

Cake:

1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour

1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar

2 tbsp (30 ml) cocoa powder

1 1/2 tsp (7 ml) baking powder

1 egg

3/4 cup (180 ml) milk

2 tbsp (30 ml) butter, melted

2 tbsp (10 ml) vanilla extract

1/2 cup (125 ml) finely chopped milk chocolate bar (about 3 oz/90 g)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Butter an 8-inch (2 L) square glass baking dish.

Heat 1-1/4 cups (310 mL) of milk for 2 to 3 min or until steaming in a glass measuring cup in microwave on Medium (50%) power or in saucepan over medium heat on stove-top. In bowl, combine sugar and cocoa. Whisk in remaining cold milk until blended. Gradually whisk in hot Milk until smooth. Set aside.

Cake:
In separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa and baking powder. In another bowl, whisk together egg, milk, butter and vanilla extract. Pour over dry ingredients and sprinkle with chocolate. Stir just until moistened. Spread into prepared baking dish. Gently pour warm milk mixture over cake batter without stirring.

Bake for about 30 min or until tester inserted in centre of cake layer comes out clean. Let cool for at least 10 min. Serve hot or warm. Scoop cake into serving bowl and spoon pudding sauce over top.

Tips

Cooking Tip:
This cake is best served when fresh baked (hot or warm) since the pudding sauce tends to soak back into the cake layer upon cooling.
