Servings16 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoon choco chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 nos eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1/2 cup milk
For the chocolate sauce / glaze [ Half this quantity would be enough for this pudding, I doubled as I wanted to store]
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tablespoon coco powder
Instructions
For the pudding:
- Boil water first, add choco chips in a heat resistant bowl, using double boiler method melt the chocolate. You can use cooking chocolate too. Set aside.
- To a mixing bowl add butter, sugar.
- Beat well until creamy. Crack open the eggs and add it.
- Beat until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla essence, mix well.
- Now in another mixing bowl place a sieve, add wheat flour, coco powder, baking powder to it.
- Add salt to it and sieve well.
- Now add little of sieved flour to butter egg mixture, alternate with milk starting and ending with flour mixture.
- Mix well to form a smooth lump free batter.
- Add melted chocolate mix once. Grease a oven safe bowl with lots of butter. I placed a small circular butter paper at the bottom for easy demolding.
- Transfer the prepared mixture to the bowl. The pudding rises well so choose a bowl accordingly. Grease a butter paper(I forgot but please do it), place over the bowl then wrap it with silver foil.
- You can either use your steamer or pressure cooker. Put a plate inside the cooker, add water to it. Place the pudding bowl on the plate. Water should be touching 1/3 rd of the bowl. Close with lid, no whistle needed. Steam cook for 1 hour 30 mins. In between check the water level and add water accordingly. Check after 1 hr then proceed. Insert a knife in the centre of the pudding if it comes out clean then the pudding is done else steam cook for few more mins.
- Mine got done in 1 hr 30 mins. Remove from flame, set aside for 10 mins. Gently remove the covers, Then slide a buttered knife at the edges.
- Then invert, remove the butter paper. Cool down completely at least for 30 mins(meanwhile you can make the chocolate sauce) then slice and serve.
How to make homemade chocolate sauce recipe:
- Measure and take powdered sugar, add water to it. Add coco powder to it.
- Whisk well so that there are no lumps, heat it up. Bring it to a boil and simmer for 2 mins. Switch off.
- Look how the consistency is. Smooth and silky. Cool down Steamed Chocolate Pudding and store in a clean jar.
Notes
- I used whole wheat flour as you might have know if you are a regular reader here , I am avoiding store bought maida. Either I use homemade maida or wheat flour. The texture of the pudding was so moist and good that no one will find out what flour you have used.
- If you want chocolate sauce just for this pudding just half the quantity I have mentioned in this recipe. I planned to store so made a bit more.
- I used my borosil 500 ml glass bowl and the size was perfect. The only thing is that I forgot to grease the butter paper but then it didn't stick much. But grease the bowl and butter paper well for easy demoulding.
- Do not be a in a hurry to demould immediately you take it out after steaming. Give a good 10 mins time then demould.
