Chocolate Pudding with Custard & Wheat Beer

1

As my housemate very kindly offer to cook me tea the other  night I decided to repay the favour by making a big old chocolate sponge for us all to have after. The recipe is really simple and takes minutes but the results are fantastic although they do come with the warning that this is a really filling chocolate pudding, not a  light ‘posh’ dessert.

Ingredients (My Nan gave me this recipe so it’s in oz – I make my apologies to the EU!)

6oz – Self-Raising Flour

2oz – Cocoa Powder

8oz – Butter

8oz – Castor Sugar

4 – Eggs

1 Packet Chocolate Chips

Method

The method really is easy, the first bit being the most labour intensive. Cube the butter and castor sugar together in  a bowl with the back of a metal spoon. Crack the eggs into the bowl and stir in until the mixture is smooth then sieve the flour and cocoa into the bowl and stir that in too!! Finally chuck the chocolate chips into the mix and give it one final stir. The mixture should be smooth but not too runny and, although my Nan tells me off for doing it, should taste delicious if you put a finger in!!! Read the rest of this entry »
