Preparation
Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 170C/fan 150C/gas 5.
Step 2
Brush 6 holes of a muffin tin with a drop of oil.
Step 3
Sieve the cocoa into a large bowl, then add the rest of the dry ingredients.
Step 4
Stir to combine, then make a well in the centre.
Step 5
Beat the milk, egg and oil together in a jug, pour into the well, then stir quickly to make a batter.
Step 6
Spoon into the muffin tin, push a piece of chocolate inside (makes a fudgy centre when baked!!) then bake for 15 mins or until risen and firm to the touch.
Step 7
Heat the custard in the microwave according to instructions, or in a pan, then tip in the chopped chocolate and stir until smooth.
Step 8
Turn the puddings into bowls and pour the custard over.
Make them zingy
Lemon curd cakes with custard: To make your own luscious lemon puddings, omit the cocoa and add an extra tbsp flour and the zest of 1 lemon. Once golden, top with a small blob of lemon curd and serve with plain low-fat custard.
