I made one last night, but again, like all of the recipes I have tried, the sauce seems to soak itslef into the pudding mix. Other than making extra sauce mix, how do i stop this happening, as I remember my mum used to make it and it had a nice, thick sauce under it. Last night I cooked it on non fake bake. Any suggestions appreciated

What temp do yu bake it at? I just wonder if the heat is too hot that the sauce is basically evaporating

Said to cook it at 180 on bake, or 160 fan bake... just used bake as i wondered if fan bake would dry it out

I mix the cocoa and brown sugar and put that on top of the pudding the pour the hot water on top and chuck in oven. Just made one so will have a look and see what the sauce does. I dont mix the water and sugar and cocoa though.

you're welcome craftylady1 - just be sure to not overcook the microwave pudding (although that's important too for the oven-cooked version) - when you take the pudding from the microwave IMO it should be slightly 'gooey' still in the very middle and by the time it has had its standing time and you've served it, then it should be just right. I hope you enjoy that pudding and if by chance you have any leftovers, then they'll freeze ok and can be carefully reheated in the microwave. :-))

I make the base and then double or triple the topping (without premixing) as the sauce is a fav in our house too. Do have the problem of running out of dish though!
