Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 180 milliliters milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 200 grams cherries, pitted and halved (fresh or frozen)
- 120 grams brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 350 milliliters boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 6-cup capacity oven-safe baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
Fold in the pitted and halved cherries, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and cocoa powder together, then evenly sprinkle the mixture over the batter.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the entire surface of the batter, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Do not stir.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and springy to the touch, but the pudding still has a saucy layer underneath.
Remove from the oven and allow the pudding to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
