Saucy Chocolate and Coconut Pudding

Ingredients:

1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
200ml castor sugar
pinch of salt
50ml cocoa
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
50g butter
1 large egg
180 ml milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
100g dark chocolate, chopped into small chunks

For the sauce:

1 cup treacle sugar
50 ml cocoa powder
250 ml boiling water

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Grease six 250ml ramekins. Place them on a baking tray.

2. Sift the flour, baking powder, castor sugar, salt and cocoa powder into a bowl. Stir in the coconut.

3. Melt the butter and add to the dry ingredients with the egg, milk and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined, then stir in the chocolate chunks.

4. Divide the batter between the six ramekins. To make the sauce, combine the treacle sugar, cocoa and boiling water. Whisk until smooth. Carefully pour some sauce into each ramekin, which will sit on top of the batter.

5. Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through. Serve warm with cream or ice cream.
