Cooking Steps

Bake the Sponge
1

This dessert is best enjoyed warm, but you can also prepare it ahead of time. Simply bake the sponge, pour over the chocolate fudge sauce, and let it set overnight for a rich, fudgy finish.

a) Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Grease or line a large rectangular baking dish (around 33x23 cm).

b) In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, water and vegetable oil (see pantry for all three amounts). Gently stir until fully incorporated, 2-3 mins.

c) Pour the cake mixture into your baking dish.

d) When the oven is hot, pop the baking dish onto the middle shelf of your oven and bake until risen and cooked through, 40-45 mins, or until a rounded knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Make the Hot Chocolate Sauce
2

a) When the cake has 10 mins of baking time remaining, boil a half-filled kettle. Heat a small saucepan on medium-low heat. Chop the Tony's Chocolonely Milk Chocolate Bar into small pieces.

b) When hot, add in the chocolate, creme fraiche and boiled water (see pantry for amount). 

c) Gently stir until the chocolate has melted and combined into a thick sauce, 3-4 mins. 

d) Stir in the butter (see pantry for amount) and a pinch of salt until combined, then remove from the heat.

Finishing Touches
3

a) Once baked, remove the sponge from the oven and poke holes all over the top of the cake using a fork or knife. 

b) Pour your hot chocolate sauce all over the sponge. 

c) When ready to serve, share the pudding between serving bowls.

d) Drizzle over the Baileys caramel sauce to finish.

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The chocolate sauce is rich and indulgent; some find it very sweet, while others feel the Baileys caramel adds a welcome decadence.
  • Ease of prep: Straightforward to put together, though the richness means small portions go a long way.
  • Suggestions: If the sweetness feels intense, consider reducing the Baileys caramel drizzle slightly to balance the overall flavour.
  • Portions: The pudding is generously sized and can comfortably serve around eight people, making it well suited to a crowd.
  • Next-day meals: It works well chilled and served as a cake the following day, offering a different but equally enjoyable texture.
