Chocolate self saucing pudding
This is one of my family’s favourites for the past 30 years. (egg free)
I do it all in one microwave/oven proof dish and use a rubber scraper to mix with.

Chocolate self saucing pudding

2 cups milk 200gms butter
Heat in microwave until butter has melted.
Sift in -
2 cups flour 2 tsp Baking Powder
2 heaped tblsp cocoa
Add-
â…” cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla
And I add ½ cup of sultanas but this is optional.
Mix well.
Scrape down the sides so it is tidy and then sprinkle on top-
1 cup brown sugar mixed with 2 heaped tblsp cocoa (an extra bowl is required for this) and then pour over gently
1½ cups of boiling water.
Cook at 170C for approx 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Lovely served with cream, ice cream or just plain milk.

I have trebled this recipe and cooked it in the oven in my crock pot inner to serve at a teenage party.

microwave-cooked or conventional/oven-cooked, marianne21?
Here's our favourite - a microwave-cooked version..............

CHOCOLATE SELF-SAUCING PUDDING
1 cup (155g) self-raising flour
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp cocoa
¾ cup (175g) sugar
2 tbsp butter, melted
½ cup milk
1 tsp vanilla essence

Mix the four dry ingredients, then add the remaining ingredients and stir to form a batter. Spoon the mixture into a large microwaveproof ring mould or casserole dish. Top with the

Sauce:
½ cup (120g) brown sugar
1 tbsp cocoa
2 tbsp coconut
1½ cups boiling water

Combine the brown sugar, cocoa and coconut, then sprinkle the mixture over the pudding batter. Over the back of a spoon and on to the pudding carefully pour the boiling water.
Cook, elevated on e.g. an upturned sauce, on HIGH/100% power for 6-7 minutes, uncovered. :-))

I love this one...courtesy msg board

Crock Pot Chocolate Self-saucing Pudding
We've seen several different recipes for slow cooker versions of everyone's favourite self-saucing chocolate pudding, but this one - with its remarkably rich sauce considering how little fat is actually added - is a winner!
FOR 6 SERVINGS:
1 cup self-raising flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 Tbsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup chocolate chips
SAUCE
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 1/4 cups boiling water
Turn the slow cooker to HIGH and coat the inside of the bowl with non-stick spray.
Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa powder and salt into a large bowl. In a small separate bowl whisk the milk, oil and vanilla together. Pour them into the dry ingredients, then fold everything together gently until just combined. Sprinkle in the chocolate chips and stir just enough to incorporate them. Pour or spoon the pudding batter into the slow cooker.
Make the sauce by combining the sugar and cocoa powder with the boiling water. Stir or whisk to ensure there are no lumps, then carefully pour the sauce over the batter, getting as much as possible around the edges rather than all in the middle.
Cover and cook for 2-3 hours. When the middle feels about as firm as the edges it is ready. Leave to stand for 15-20 minutes before spooning out and serving with cream or ice cream.

If you have children they may enjoy making their own "Chocolate Mug Cakes" themselves! This is a 1 person serving
Into a bowl place
4 tabs flour
4 tabs sugar
2 tabs cocoa
3 tabs milk
3 tabs oil
1/2 tsp BP
pinch vanilla ess
Beat everything together well. Pour into a oil sprayed coffee mug & microwave on high for 2 mins!

macandrosie - 2012-03-14 16:23:00

HINT: When pouring the boiling water over, dissolve the other sauce ingredients in it first.

Much, much easier and less chance of lumps forming.

Tried this last night - very yummy and quite light which was a nice surprise. Quite a large quantity so cooked on a large lasgne dish and instead of sultanas added dried cranberries. Put in for 40 mins which was lucky as even that was a wee bit too long. Had cooked for 4 of us and we all went back for seconds!!! And there is still enough left for 3 of us tonights!

So thanks so much for sharing this recipe.

kellrae - 2012-06-04 11:07:00

This is the one we like best of all the ones we've tried - Mr 17 considers himself a self saucing pudding expert and will often make one on a cold miserable winter weekend and also made this for his sister's 21st birthday "please bring a dessert" party - his younger brother brought hokey pokey ice cream luckily as the two go together very well!

I just recently spent a few weeks testing loads of different recipes - eventually came up with this one.

http://www.misscookie.co.nz/index.php?post=1362&name=cho
colate%20self-saucing%20pudding.

I definitely recommend it. It's egg-free, super saucey (and the sauce is syrupy and perfect), and cooks in about 10 minutes in the microwave, though ofc it could also go in the oven.

Sorry about the awful picture of it - it's the hardest dessert in the world to photograph.

Also, it's worth noting that this one does a really bizarre and impressive thing - it separates into three layers. Cake (bottom), sauce (middle), cake (top). It has a sauce pocket. Enough said.

connor2003, "a pinch" actually = 1/8 tsp so I suggest that macandrosie could mean just a drop or two or vanilla essence. :-))

destiny6nz, have you no cocoa at all or just not enough for both the pudding base + the sauce? Think of alternative flavourings that you have on hand or alternatively try a different recipe e.g.

http://www.foodinaminute.co.nz/Recipes/Fruity-Blueberry-Self
-Saucing-Pudding
or
http://www.foodinaminute.co.nz/Recipes/Black-Doris-Plum-Self
-Saucing-Pud

I recommend both of those recipes as a delicious alternative to a chocolate ss pudding.

Hope that helps. :-))

245sam - 2012-08-07 19:58:00

too good to lose ..

bev00 - 2013-08-07 22:47:00

a good one to have on file

bev00 - 2014-08-07 23:14:00

Not a chocolate one but here we go
(saving bev00 to bump it up empty again):

Caramel self saucing pudding

6tbsp condensed milk,
2tbsp brown sugar,
1tbsp butter,
1tbsp golden syrup,
1/2 tsp vanilla.

Melt all together.
Put into a ring tin.

Beat an egg
with1/2 cup sugar
add 2tbsp melted butter.

Dissolve 1/2 tsp baking soda in 1/2 cup milk,
add that

then fold in
1cup flour and 1tsp cream of tartar.

Put on top of caramel mixture and cook on high for about 5 minutes.

-----------

Or:
Make a chocolate one, but leave out the cocoa,
and use brown sugar in the base and in the sauce topping.
That changes it to a caramel pudding.

For lemon flavour:
leave out the cocoa,
use white sugar in the base and topping,
add lemon rind,
and some lemon juice in place of some of the milk in the base,
and use lemon juice added to the water in the topping.

Or use orange in place of the lemon in the same way.

It says to cook for 5 minutes on high, which to me, makes it a microwave recipe. I have a ring dish for the microwave but I haven't tried the pudding recipe. I might next time I need a dessert.

I don't know whether uli has a microwave or not but there is another poster who disparagingly calls them "mickeywaves" and does not have one. This person pours scorn on those who do use them.

I can see a problem with the microwave recipes on here. They state such and such a time on high but there is no mention of the wattage. Microwaves are available from about 650 watts to 1500 watts. The variation between those two extremes would make an enormous difference to the cooking times.

Can I just say that microwave ring cooking containers have been around since microwaves were first invented and it's highly likely to be correct. (Particularly as it says cook on high for 5 mins!) As microwaves can cook unevenly it's more reliable to use a ring from my understanding! We always use ours for chocolate self saucing pudd... Must try some of these recipes though...
I can't vouch for if Uli has tested it though!! I do remember Elliehen getting grief for not testing recipes.

wendalls - 2015-08-18 22:12:00

I had a search and discovered most of the online recipes do not give a wattage but I found these two.

I haven't tried them but here goes

From the UK edition of Delicious magazine

INGREDIENTS
60g butter
225g self-raising flour
200g caster sugar
60g cocoa powder
180ml milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
175g soft brown sugar
METHOD

01.Melt the butter in the microwave in a deep, 20cm round dish.
02.Sift in flour, sugar and 25g cocoa powder, add milk and vanilla extract, and mix well. Sprinkle soft brown sugar and the remaining 35g cocoa powder over the top and pour in 300ml boiling water – don’t stir. Cook in the microwave on High (800W) for 8 minutes.
03.Allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving with cream.

And from the 1992 edition of the Edmonds cookbook with a microwave version created by a grandmother.

1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup sugar
¼ cup cocoa
75g melted butter
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
Topping
2 cups brown sugar
¼ cup cocoa
2 cups boiling water

1 Preheat oven to 180C.

2 To make the pudding, sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and cocoa into a mixing bowl. Add butter, milk and vanilla and mix well.

Pour into a round, 20cm wide, deep ovenproof dish greased with butter.

3 Combine brown sugar and cocoa and sprinkle over pudding. Pour over boiling water and bake for 40 minutes. Don't worry if it looks like a mess, it will be fine.

Or, cook in microwave:

1 Prepare exactly as above.

2 Cook in microwave on 50 per cent power/500w/medium for 18 minutes. Do not be tempted to cook it further if the middle looks slightly undercooked, it will continue to cook while it stands. Remove and cover tightly with plastic wrap and cover with a tea towel till ready to serve, for at least five minutes.

They look suitable for those times when visitors arrive empty-handed just before dinner.

Now to find something that will stretch the meat from one serving to two or three.

I don't see how it can have been a tested recipe if the poster doesn't own a microwave oven ...can you?
Plus the fact that there's been no explanation or return to this thread.
btw... Elliehen is sorely missed by me & heaps of others, I'm sure...but i think there probably were a couple of posters out to get her & they succeeded, to the detriment of this forum.
Thankfully we still have many valued contributors., who are happy to help out, just as eh was.

Thank you uli.
So you haven't made that recipe in a microwave, but have made it in a slow cooker & oven.
How long did you cook it in the slow cooker & how long in the oven ...would be helpful to know & please don't assume that we all use a microwave to bake...mine is more of a defrosting machine.

An answer but still not a lot of help with the posted recipes. Oh well, experimentation may be required.

kay141 wrote:

Yes you will have to experiment the same as I did when I first got the recipe.

I have two slow cookers a big one which really cooks slow and a small one which cooks very hot in comparison.

So in the small hot slow cooker it took 2 hours on high and stuck a bit to the bottom. In the big slow cooker it took 5 hours - 2 on high and 3 on low.

In the oven it baked for 1 hour at approx 170 degrees C and I had to cover the top for the last 15 minutes.

And in your oven or crockpot it could be completely different as we all have found out over the years...

uli - 2015-08-20 11:26:00

Guess I'll give those recipes without wattage a miss. I don't have time for experimentation when I need a quick dessert.

kay141 - 2015-08-20 16:48:00

I'm giving one a go tonight so I'll let you know how I fare with my machine. The amount of sugar is truly staggering though so I don't think I'll repeat it often. I have fallen off the bandwagon of going low carb.. Will try to get back on soon. Although only eating bread on occasion due to having made some delicious orange marmalade that no one wants to try so I have to eat it!

wendalls - 2015-08-20 17:57:00

Yes best to do kay141 - give it a miss.

Since I have never seen any recipe on TM that gave the wattage of their oven or microwave you may have to quit the recipe section altogether ... as there might be nothing for you to cook or bake now that you need all that info.

It seems amazing to me that you came to your age without being able to adjust a recipe from microwave to oven or crockpot or other way round.

Or do you just like to whinge at my recipes which have not all options in all wattages and all possibilities to cook them?

I can give some recipes for baking over an open fire as well if you like. But then I am not sure what wattage that might be.
