#jay makes stuff

Notes: this is doubled from the original (I think) because in my family it has only ever been made for 5+ people. You will still have leftovers. I have never attempted to make this with any substitutions.

You need: a big casserole dish, the biggest one you can find, a baking tray, a bowl, a big spoon

Oven: 200°C/medium if you have a normal oven. My oven is straight from hell so I usually set it to 180°C fan forced

Ingredients:

Cake:

- 2 cups self raising flour

- 1 & 1/2 cups white sugar

- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

- 1 & 1/2 cups milk

- vanilla

- 4 tablespoons melted butter

Mix the drys, add the wets, stir, tip into casserole dish. It’s a wet mixture, don’t fret.

Boil your kettle while you do this to make the sauce:

- 1 cup brown sugar

- 1/4 cup cocoa

- 2 & 1/2 or 3 cups of boiling water, depending on how deep your casserole dish is.

Mix sugar and cocoa in a bowl (just reuse the cake bowl) and then add the water. Roughly dissolve, and then using the spoon to spread the flow a bit, pour the sauce mixture over the cake mixture.

Sit your casserole dish on your baking tray before putting it in the oven, because no one likes to clean ovens and this likes to boil over. Cook for 50-60 minutes, turning once half way.

Remove from oven and banish any family members or general roustabouts from the vicinity of the kitchen for a least five minutes, ignore complaints. This is for their own safety. The pudding craves the feeling of burning people’s mouths. Don’t give it the satisfaction.

Serve. You can serve it with ice cream but I do not like the textures of the two together.
