Super easy chocolate pudding with its own sauce! A soft, tender cake on top with a glossy chocolate sauce beneath, all baked in one pan.

Prepare all the ingredients needed for making self-saucing easy chocolate pudding.

INGREDIENTS

Mix together brown sugar, cocoa, and salt. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and more cocoa.

DRY INGREDIENTS

In a jug, whisk together melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla.

WET INGREDIENTS

Pour egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until everything is combined. See how easy chocolate pudding can be?

MIX WET AND DRY

Self-saucing easy chocolate pudding batter will be quite thick. Don't fret! This is normal.

GLOSSY BATTER

Spread the chocolate pudding batter in a baking dish and smooth out the top to even.

SPREAD BATTER

Sprinkle the sugar and cocoa mixture over the batter, then give it a light shake to spread it out evenly. This is how you'll get a self-saucing pudding.

SPRINKLE

Carefully pour hot water over the easy chocolate pudding, using the back of a spoon to ensure it covers the entire top surface.

POUR HOT WATER

Bake the self-saucing easy chocolate pudding until the top is lightly springy to touch and the bottom is a bit jiggly. Do not overbake; you don't want to miss out the sauce.

BAKE

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Then serve your super easy chocolate pudding scooped into bowls with cream or ice cream on top. Yum!
