Ingredients
Method
Step 1
Grease an ovenproof dish (10-cup capacity).
Step 2
Sift flour and cocoa into a large bowl. Stir in sugar. Add milk, egg, and butter. Stir until smooth. Spoon mixture into prepared dish. Smooth over the top.
Step 3
To make topping sift cocoa into a medium bowl. Stir in sugar. Sprinkle over the pudding mixture.
Step 4
Slowly pour 2 and 1/2 cups boiling water over the back of a large metal spoon (to avoid dents in the pudding) to cover the cocoa mixture.
Step 5
Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for about 35 minutes, or until a spongy cake forms on top and the sauce is runny underneath. Remove from oven. Sprinkle white chocolate over the top. Stand for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Serve warm with ice cream.
