Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Chocolate cake pudding, the sauce is created during baking

Grease a round, ovenproof bowl (at least 1 liter in size) with butter (better use a larger one, as the pudding will expand during baking). Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cocoa powder into a bowl. Melt the butter, milk, and vanilla sugar (it shouldn’t be too hot). Add the egg and stir. Add the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Pour the batter into the ovenproof bowl. For the sauce, mix the brown sugar and cocoa powder and sprinkle over the batter. Everything up to this point can be prepared in advance. Just before putting everything in the oven, pour over the boiling water. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding has risen and, when pierced with a roulade fork, the fork should come out clean, just like a cake. Serve with either vanilla sauce or lots of vanilla ice cream. Can be turned out onto a plate (then the chocolate sauce runs over the pudding) or served in the ovenproof dish.
