Brazilian Chocolate Pudding

Ingredients
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup self raising flour
1 tablespoon cocoa
1/2 cup milk
60g butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Topping
1 1/2 cups boiling water (if too dry increase amount of water next time)
3/4 cup white sugar
1 heaped tablespoon cocoa
2 heaped teaspoon of instant coffee

Method

• Sift sugar, flour and cocoa into a bowl.
• Heat the milk and butter in a saucepan until the butter melts.
• Add the vanilla to the butter.
• Add the liquid ingredients to the sifted dry ingredients.
• Beat well for 1-2 minutes or until light and smooth.
• Pour into a greased baking dish (good size is 6″ x 10″ = 15cm x 25cm)

Topping

• Mix sugar, cocoa and coffee granules in a bowl and sprinkle on top.
• Gently pour the boiling water over the top.
• Bake in a moderate oven for approx 40 minutes.

Can be cooked in a microwave for 12 minutes on high if short of time but tastes better baked in the oven.
A compromise between th two cooking methods can be 6 minutes in the microwave followed by 20 minutes in a moderate oven.
