for the Sauce

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.

I tried this recipe out and it tastes exactly like my moms. But instead of the walnuts, I use coconut and always double the recipe. It's so good the next day and I make smaller ones in rammikens (probably spelt that wrong). But thank you! It's brilliant! Heading: Comments: Name:
