Winter's Eve Chocolate Pudding

Last night, in my opinion, was one of the coldest that South East Queensland has had this year. To aptly finish off a warm Winter style meal of boeuf bourguignon, I decided to go for this decadent self-saucing chocolate pudding (recipe below).

Ingredients:

Pudding:

• 3/4 cup S.R. flour
• 2 tbl spoons cocoa
• 1 tbl spoon instant coffee
• 125g butter
• 2/3 cup caster sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
  
• 2 tbl spoon milk

Sauce:

• 1 tbl spoon cocoa
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup hot water

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
   
2. Sift together flour, cocoa, instant coffee.
3. Cream butter and sugar until light, gradually add eggs and vanilla and then the flour mixture, followed by the milk.
4. Spoon mixture into a buttered oven-proof dish.
5. In a small bowl mix together cocoa and brown sugar (for the sauce).
6. Stir in the hot water until sugar dissolves.
7. Pour the sauce mixture over the pudding mixture. Bake for 40 minutes.
8. Serve with ice-cream or whipped cream.
   

All that remained.
