Lava Pudding

This is a strange pudding where you make a uniform mix, and it separates out in cooking, with cake round the outside, and sauce in the centre.

Ingredients
dark chocolate
butter
soft brown sugar
plain flour
2 eggs

Equipment

bowl
saucepan
spoon, and fork, for mixing
individual oven-proof moulds

oven:
time in oven: 10-12 mins

preparation time:
melt chocolate and butter
mix ingredients

Cooking process

Put chocolate and butter in bowl, and the bowl in a suacepan with water in (not too much). Heat until chocolate and butter melts. Mix until smooth. Take off heat and let it cool for a bit.
Add sugar, and mix. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in flour.
Spoon into individual moulds (see below). Put on a baking tray, and into the oven for about 10-12 minutes. The top should be cooked.
Run a knife round to loosen the puddings. Turn out onto dishes. When cut into, the chocolate sauce pours out (this is the lava).

Other ideas

The original recipe said "dariole moulds". I used a muffin tray, and this amount made four puddings. The tops (bottoms when cooking) weren't quite cooked. This is a little hard to judge when cooked! The muffin tray was silicone - I don't know if that made a difference.

I buttered the muffin tray to help turning out. The edges were OK, but the top (bottom while cooking) wasn't cooked, so the "lava" poured out when turning out, rather than at table. But that might have been because it wasn't quite cooked. Tasted nice, though!
