Sponge pudding has been a staple in most North American homes since the '50's...because it is inexpensive and has a sauce built into the dessert.

I hope this becomes one of your favourite desserts.

Enjoy with love!

Whisk the egg into the liquids.

Sift the flour, baking powder and 1 tbsp of cocoa powder together.

Sprinkle onto the liquids and whisk to mix, the mixture will be lumpy.

Evenly distribute into ramekins.

Stir the remaining sugar and cocoa powder together.

*When baking it will magically mix together creating a sauce on the bottom.

Place on a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake for 40-45 min until the liquid sinks and the cake rises. Remove and allow to cool for 5 min. The cake will drop.

Sprinkle with icing sugar and a scoop of Ice-cream if you'd like.
