Microwave self-saucing chocolate pudding

Hey girls.. I just re-discovered this awesome recipe that I used a few times when I was in NZ... it takes like 7 mins in the microwave and produces a yummy as chocolate cake with chocolate sauce on it!!! Very easy and quick dessert :) I've modified the recipe a bit from what I found online:

Microwave Self-saucing Chocolate Pudding

Ingredients (this makes around 4 servings)

Pudding:

• 1 cup self-raising flour (check if this has salt, if it does, omit salt from the recipe)
• 3/4 cup sugar (i like brown sugar better)
• pinch of salt
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons melted butter (i used unsalted but doesn really matter i guess)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence (i used to add a bit of orange essence when i had it and it gives the yummmmy jaffa taste)
• 1/2 cup milk (if the batter is too hard, u can add a bit more)

Sauce

• 1/2 cup sugar (brown is better again)
• 1 tablespoon cocoa
• 1 1/2 cups boiling water

Need baking paper (wax paper)
I usually just mix/make this in a large glass bowl/measuring jug.

Directions

1. Mix/sift (actual recipe said sift, i just mixed) flour, cocoa, salt and sugar into a bowl
2. Stir in milk, melted butter and vanilla till mixture is just combined.
3. Combine brown sugar and cocoa and sprinkle it over the batter.
4. Now, very carefully, pour hot water over the batter (best is to run it along the side of the container so it forms a pool on top of the batter) and cover with a sheet of waxed paper. Press the wax paper down onto the water so that it 'sticks' to the water. Its fine to have some paper sticking on the sides of the container too.
   
5. Cook on high for 6 - 7 minutes.

Voila! We had it straight but it tastes amazing with some ice cream :)
