ingredients
serves 4
100 g (4 oz) self-raising flour, sieved
50 g (2 oz) sugar
30 ml (2 level tbsp) unsweetened cocoa powder, sieved
50 g (2 oz) walnuts, chopped

30 g (2 tbsp) unsweetened cocoa powder, sieved
4 Tablespoons boiling water
method
1. To make the sponge, put the dry ingredients into a bowl. Add the butter, milk and essence and mix to form a thick batter.
2. Pour the mixture into a buttered 900 ml (1 1/2 pt) ovenproof dish.
3. To make the sauce, mix together the brown sugar, cocoa and boiling water. Pour this sauce over the batter.
4. Bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F) Gas 4 for about 40 minutes. During cooking the chocolate sponge rises to the top, and a chocolate fudge sauce forms underneath.
5. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.
