Ingredients

• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 180 milliliters milk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 200 grams cherries, pitted and halved (fresh or frozen)
• 120 grams brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 350 milliliters boiling water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 6-cup capacity oven-safe baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

Step 4

Fold in the pitted and halved cherries, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and cocoa powder together, then evenly sprinkle the mixture over the batter.

Step 6

Carefully pour the boiling water over the entire surface of the batter, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Do not stir.

Step 7

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and springy to the touch, but the pudding still has a saucy layer underneath.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the pudding to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
