Instructions:

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Add the 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted butter. Stir until well combined.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then beat in the 2 eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the 1/3 cup of dry cocoa powder, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1/2 cup of self-raising flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined.
- Pour in the 1/4 cup of milk and continue stirring until you have a smooth batter.
- Fold in the soaked raisins along with any remaining rum and the 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chopped into small pieces.
- Grease eight individual pudding molds or ramekins.
- Divide the batter evenly among the molds, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Place the molds on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puddings are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the puddings to cool slightly in the molds before turning them out onto serving plates.
- Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
