About once a year I get a craving for this beastie, and only once a year because this recipe makes so much that you become completely sick of it by the time you have forced yourself to eat all over it... over a week or so.
So if you are ever having guests around or need to feed a lot of people then this is a lovely simple recipe for you.
2 cups flour
3/4 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups milk
60 g (2 oz) butter, melted
2 tsp baking powder
2 dsp cocoa powder
2 3/4 cups boiling water
1 cup sugar
2 dsp cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup raisins (optional, I optioned to leave those out)
Combine the boiling water, 1 cup sugar, 2 dsp cocoa, vanilla and set aside. This constitutes the sauce.
Sift flour, baking powder, 2 dsp cocoa, 3/4 cup sugar, melted butter and milk, mixing until smooth, add raisins if you so desire.
Put into a large buttered oven ware dish.
Carefully pour the sauce over this mixture.
Bake uncovered in a 200°C oven for 35mins or until the sponge is cooked.
When serving, a thick chocolate sauce will be found under the chocolate sponge.
