Winter Warmer 109- Chocolate Sauce Pudding

Winter is creeping up on us, and my most recent posts are trending to comfort food. This one is no exception. It's called a 109 as that is the page it appears on in my Country Women's Association Cookbook. Thanks to them for the original recipe. This makes a rich chocolate self saucing pudding that uses just pantry basics making it great for a mid week dessert for the family. First blitz 100g raw sugar and 20g cocoa for 5 seconds on speed 8 and set aside. No need to rinse the jug, just press on by adding another 100g raw sugar and again blitz 5 seconds speed 8. Add 60g softened butter and mix speed 8 for 10 seconds. Scrape sides and mix again for 10 seconds. Next add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 egg and mix at speed 5 for 20 seconds. Finally weigh in 150g self raising flour, 20g cocoa and 120g milk and mix again for 20 seconds speed 5. Scrape sides and mix this time at speed 7 for a further 30 seconds. To assemble, spoon batter into a greased ovenproof dish- a narrower but deeper dish is preferable to a wide and shallow one. Then sprinkle with the sugar/cocoa mix you started with and carefully pour over 1 1/2 cups boiling water. Bake at 170 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until the pudding has risen and is springy to touch. Great served with vanilla icecream or a dollop of double cream.
