Step 1

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Grease an 1.5L (6-cup) capacity ovenproof baking dish.

Step 2

Sift the flour, 1/2 cup (110g) sugar and 1/4 cup (25g) cocoa into a bowl and stir to combine. Make a well in the centre. In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, milk, vanilla extract and egg. Gradually pour into the well, then fold to combine.

Step 3

Spread mixture evenly into prepared dish. Combine remaining 1/2 cup (110g) sugar and 1/4 cup (25g) cocoa and sprinkle over the top of the pudding. Carefully pour 1 cup (250ml) boiling water over the top of the pudding.

Step 4

Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is firm. Stand for 10 minutes to cool slightly.

Step 5

Dust the warm pudding with extra cocoa and serve immediately with vanilla ice cream.
