Have you ever found yourself in need of
a quick and easy pudding? This recipe is perfect for when you're
craving something sweet and naughty, but don't have a lot of time to
make it. The recipe is basic and uses basic baking ingredients,
(hopefully stuff you have in the cupboard anyway!)
As this one is cooked in the microwave,
cooking times may vary and I'm afraid the only way you'll find out is
trial and error! In my microwave, this take 3 minutes on a
medium-high heat setting, but you'll know the sponge is done as it
will be set but still sticky on the top. Finally – you will need a
microwaveable bowl for this one.
Ingredients:
50g margarine
50g caster sugar
1 medium egg
50g self-raising flour
3tbsp cocoa powder
2tbsp milk
50g milk chocolate (optional)
Prep time: less than 5 minutes
Cook time: 3 minutes
Serves 2-4 (depending how hungry/greedy
you're feeling!)
- Place all of the ingredients except for the chocolate into a medium mixing bowl, and beat until combined into a smooth, slightly runny batter.
- Lightly grease a microwavable bowl (I used a frylight spray to give a light coating of oil) then pour the pudding batter into it. Cover with another bowl or plate and microwave on a medium-high heat for three minutes, until the pudding is set and spongy, but still a little sticky on top. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (careful, it will be hot!) and place on the side to rest for 2-3 minutes, uncovered.
- Meanwhile, melt the milk chocolate in the microwave in bursts. Spoon the pudding into serving bowls and then drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each. Make sure to eat it while it's still warm!
