Chocolate Self- Saucing Pudding

I'm not a real fan of puddings, but this one i liked..
The recipe calls for cocoa powder but last minute after i had already made the base i realized i didn't have any for the sauce, so... i sprinkled about half a cup of choc chips over the top and then poured the boiling water over the top.. and it was surprisingly really good! Sometimes mistakes turn out better than the recipe ;) which then makes them your own. Give it a go..

Ingredients:
     1 cup self-raising flour

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1/2 cup brown sugar

80g butter, melted, cooled

1/2 cup milk

1 egg, lightly beaten

Sauce :

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons cocoa powder, sifted

1 1/4 cups boiling water

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease an 8-cup ( or close) capacity ovenproof baking dish. Sift flour and cocoa into a large bowl. Stir in sugar.
2. Combine butter, milk and egg in a jug/bowl. Slowly add to flour mixture, whisking until well combined and smooth. Spoon into baking dish. Smooth top.
3. Make sauce: Sprinkle combined sugar and cocoa over pudding.
4. Slowly pour boiling water over the back of a large metal spoon to cover pudding. Place dish onto a baking tray. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until pudding bounces back when pressed gently in centre.

Notes: The The spoon prevents the water from disturbing the brown sugar.
