13 ingredients
12 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup good unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup ground hazelnuts
  • 1 2/3 cups confectioners sugar
  • 2 1/2 ounces best semisweet chocolate chopped roughly or chocolate morsels
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dark brown or dark muscovado sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350.
  2. 2
    Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa into a bowl, stir in the hazelnuts and the sugar, then add the chocolate.
  3. 3
    Whisk together the melted butter, egg, milk and vanilla and pour into the dry ingredients.
  4. 4
    Stir well, so it's all thoroughly mixed, then spoon into the buttered dish.
  5. 5
    Now for the sauce, not that you make it yourself (the cooking does that for you) but you have to get the ingredients together.
  6. 6
    Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil.
  7. 7
    Mix the brown sugar and cocoa and sprinkle over the top of the pudding mixture in the dish.
  8. 8
    Pour the boiled water up to the 2 cup mark of a measuring cup, then pour over the pudding.
  9. 9
    Put the water-drenched pudding directly into the oven and leave it there for about 50 minutes.
  10. 10
    Don't open the door until a good 45 minutes have passed and then press: if it feels fairly firm and springy to the touch, it's ready.
  11. 11
    If you're using the shallow dish, it'll be ready in 35-40 minutes.
  12. 12
    Remove from the oven and serve immediately, spooning from the dish and making sure everyone gets both sauce and sponge.
