Instructions
To make your sponge:
Preheat your oven to 160C Fan / 180C.
Place all your ingredients for the pudding (except the milk) into a large bowl and whisk together until well combined.
Pour the milk into the bowl in three stages, whisking in between each addition.
Pour your mixture into a greased casserole dish. Mine was a 28cm x 18cm rectangular baking tin. Pop into the oven for about 40 minutes. It should have risen up. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly in the dish - this is where you will serve it from.
To make your sauce:
Whilst the pudding is in the oven, you can make your sauce. Place your cream and milk (or just cream) into a saucepan and heat until just boiling. Once boiling, remove from the heat and straight away add your chocolate. Stir through until the chocolate melts and you have a smooth hot chocolate sauce.
To serve:
Cut your sponge into squares as big as you like. If they've completely cooled, I'd recommend briefly heating it in the microwave again. Always enjoy lovely and hot!
Pour a little of the hot chocolate sauce over each portion. I always like to eat it hot. Serve with ice cream or even custard if you prefer. Enjoy!
Notes
You can keep your sauce in the fridge and then reheat it.
