This is the recipe for my favorite chocolate dessert that my mother used to make. Traditionally she always made it in a regular or convection oven, but the recipe has now also been adapted for the microwave. I have only made the dish myself a couple of times, but it turned out OK, perhaps not as great as the original.

Chocolate Pudding

• Melt 4oz/125g butter.
• Add to dry ingredients with 1/2 cup milk.

• 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour.
• 3/4 cup sugar.
• 1 tablespoon cocoa.

Should be stiffish dough.

Sauce

• 3/4 cup sugar.
• 1 tablespoon cocoa.
• 2 cups boiling water.
• Vanilla extract.

• Combine in a jug and pour over dough.
• Cook 350 deg. F/180 deg. C for 45 mins.
• It might boil over. Use large dish, with or without lid.

Microwave version

• 1 cup self-raising flour.
• 1/2 cup brown sugar.
• 1/4 cup milk.
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted.
