Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish or ovenproof pudding basin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup self-raising flour, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, and 1 cup sugar. Sift them together to ensure they are well combined and free of lumps.
In a separate bowl, warm 1.50 cups milk gently and add 2 tsp butter. Stir until the butter is fully melted and incorporated into the milk.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring constantly until you get a smooth batter.
Pour the pudding batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Optionally, you can add a unique touch to your pudding by pouring a layer of hot water with some sugar and cocoa powder mixed in, over the batter. This can create a delicious sauce at the bottom as it bakes.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes. The pudding should have a firm top but a moist and fudgy center.
Remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This helps it to set a little further without losing its fudgy texture.
Serve the chocolate fudge pudding warm. You can top it with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired.
In conclusion, this chocolate fudge pudding is a delightful dessert that's easy to whip up in a short amount of time.

Chocolate fudge pudding FAQ:
Bake the chocolate fudge pudding for about 35-40 minutes at 350°F (175°C). It should have a firm top while maintaining a moist and fudgy center.
The pudding is done when the top is firm to the touch, but the center should still be soft and fudgy. A toothpick inserted into the center may come out with a few moist crumbs.
You can replace the self-raising flour with all-purpose flour by adding 1.5 tsp of baking powder for leavening. For milk, you can use any non-dairy milk alternative, but it may alter the flavor slightly.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to enjoy again.
If your pudding turns out too dry, try serving it with a scoop of ice cream or sauce to add moisture. In future batches, ensure not to overbake and consider adding a hot water layer as suggested in the recipe.
Cooking Tips:
- Sift the self-raising flour and dry cocoa powder together to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Use room temperature milk to help the ingredients combine more easily.
- Do not overmix the batter. Stir just until combined to avoid a dense pudding.
- Grease your baking dish well to prevent the pudding from sticking.
- For an extra chocolatey kick, consider adding some chocolate chips or chunks to the batter.
- Let the pudding cool slightly before serving to allow it to set properly while still enjoying the warm, gooey center.
