Ingredients for Success
3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup oil
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp espresso powder (optional)
How to Create Magic
Prep Your Base : Whisk together egg yolks, milk, cocoa, espresso powder (optional) and oil until well combined.
Sweeten the Deal : Add sugar, flour, and baking powder to the mix, then whisk until the batter turns into a smooth, chocolatey dream.
Whip It Good : In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Whisk 1/4 of the egg whites into the batter.
Blend with Care : Gradually incorporate the rest of the egg whites, ensuring a light and airy texture.
Bake to Perfection : Pour the batter into a prepared baking dish, pop the baking dish into a deep tray and fill the tray with water. The water should come halfway up the side of the baking dish. Bake at 160C fan-forced for 50 minutes. The pudding should rise beautifully, and the sauce magically forms beneath the surface.
Serving Suggestions
Warm Wonders : Serve the pudding fresh from the oven to enjoy the contrast between the light, fluffy top and the decadent sauce below.
Cold Comfort : Experience a delightful twist by serving the pudding chilled, allowing the sauce to thicken and intensify its flavor.
Topping Temptations : Elevate your dessert with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
