Here it is "DONNA"

* Low-fat Chocolate self-saucing Pudding *

INGREDIENTS ;

reduced-fat margarine, to grease ovenproof-dish
1 Cup SR flour
1/2 Cup, lightly packed Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
1/2 Cup Skim Milk
40g reduced-fat marg, melted
2 Cups of Boiling water (whoops guys, I left that important detail out before )

METHOD ;

Preheat oven 180c.
Lightly grease with reduced-fat margarine a 6cup (1.5L) capacity ovenproof-dish.

Combine the flour, HALF the brown sugar & HALF the cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Add the milk & melted margarine & stir until well combined. Pour into the prepared ovenproof-dish.

Sift the remaining brown sugar & cocoa into the bowl. Sprinkle pudding with the sugar mixture. Gently pour in boiling water.

Bake in oven 35-40mins or until a cake-like top forms & a skewer inserted halfway into the centre comes out clean.
Remove from oven & set aside for 5mins to cool slightly (and sauce will thicken a little).

PLEASE NOTE : There is lots of sauce BUT it's not thick ... yet does taste so yummy for a low-fat dessert
I find I need to have it in the oven for the 40mins
(is nice as left-over dessert the next day/night)

OMG NELLE lucky you told me ... oh, what a num num am I for leaving that out

(Ah, ... I must confess my 2 year old was having a super scream as I was trying to type it out ... I have checked everything else ... alls good)

Yep, so it's - 2 Cups of Boiling Water

I reckon you could put less water if you want (as there is more than enough sauce)

... Keep in mind it is low-fat !! ... and ya gotta have low-fat vanilla ice-cream with it !!
