ooooh, first time I have joined in this one...

1. Cleaned and *tidied* the kitchen - a major achievement
2. Using my spuds and marrow glut to make a yummy Cream of Potato and Marrow soup
3. Using my neighbours glut of cooking apples to make a Dorset Apple cake - just out the oven, smells wonderful
4. Successfully attempted to make soft brown rolls for dd lunch (and mine too - they shall go with the soup)
5. sitting down for a well earned cuppa whilst I sorted through the 'paperwork mountain' that was threatening to topple....

Chocolate fudge Pudding
First find a cup that holds 8 fl oz of liquid(a US cup measure)

Grease a shallow baking dish - about 9'' by 13''

Sift together
1 cup plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
⅔ cup sugar
2 tbsp cocoa

add
½ cup milk
2 tbsp melted butter or marge
1 tsp vanilla extract(optional)

Mix until just smooth,then spoon into the baking dish.

Mix together
4 tbsp cocoa
1 cup soft brown sugar(light or dark)

Sprinkle over batter in dish.
Pour over all 1 ½ cups of just-boiled water - DO NOT STIR

Bake for 40 mins at 180c
Serve warm with whipped cream......yummmy
When it's cooked there will be a thick fudgy sauce a the bottom of the pudding and a cakey bit on top. It's nice with some instant coffee(about a dessert spoon) added to the cocoa and sugar bit.

I've just made this and its baking now! I just wanted to say a huge thankyou to the lovely lady that posted it x
