Ingredients
- 1/4 cup All purpose flour Maida /
- 1 tbsp cocoa Unsweetened powder
- 2 tbsps sugar Granulated
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- pinch Salt a
- 2 tbsps Milk
- 1 tbsp butter Melted
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp dark rum
for sauce
- 1.5 tbsps white sugar granulated
- 1 tbsp brown sugar granulated
- 1 tbsp cocoa unsweetened powder
- 1/4 cup water cold
- 1 - 2 tbsps dark rum
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 180xb0C. Butter two ramekins or oven-proof cups and keep aside.
- Sieve all the dry ingredients for the cake into a medium bowl.
- Make a well. Add the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract and rum. Whisk with a fork to mix.
- Divide this batter equally between the two ramekins.
- In a small bowl, mix the dry ingredients for the sauce with your fingertips.
- Divide between the two ramekins, sprinkling this dry mix over the batter rather evenly.
- Mix the rum into the cold water and pour the water equally over both the ramekins - on top of the spread dry mix layer. Do not worry about pouring water over the cake batter and sugar-cocoa layer. This will go to the bottom of the cake as it bakes and form the sauce part of the 'self saucing'.
- Bake for 10 minutes. The cake will rise above and sink somewhat in the middle, because of the saucy layer at the bottom.
- Dust with icing sugar and serve immediately.
