Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F and grease a baking dish.
Melt the chocolate and butter together then allow to cool slightly.
Whip the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Stir in the cooled chocolate mixture.
Sift the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture.
Mix in the hot coffee and vanilla.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish and place in the oven.
Allow to bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
While the pudding is baking, combine all the syrup ingredients and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes then remove from the heat.
Pour the syrup over the pudding as soon as it's out of the oven and allow to absorb. You can poke a few holes into the pudding with a toothpick to allow the syrup to soak properly.
Allow the pudding to stand for 10 minutes then serve with ice cream.
