Chocolate Gooseberry Pudding Recipe

I'm still on my chocolate kick at the moment, and today's recipe is a modern Welsh recipe for a chocolate gooseberry pudding. I've been using up some of my summer fruit and gooseberries are one of my all-time favourites. In Welsh it's called: Pwdin Eirin Mair Siocled


Chocolate Gooseberry Pudding Recipe

Pwdin Eirin Mair Siocled

Ingredients:


175g (6 oz) butter, softened
175g (6 oz) caster sugar
3 eggs
175g (6 oz) self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
50g (2 oz) ground almonds
25g (1 oz) cocoa powder
a few drops of almond essence
400g (1 lb) gooseberry compote

Method:

Cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy then add the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly to combine after each addition.

Sift the flour into a clean bowl then fold in the butter and egg mix before mixing in the cocoa powder with a metal spoon. Finally, work in the almonds and almond essence.

Turn half the batter into a well-greased 20cm diameter cake tin then top with the gooseberry compote before topping with the remaining chocolate batter mix.

Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180ÂșC and bake for about 40 minutes, or until cooked through. Serve hot, accompanied by custard.
