Method
Sift the flour, salt, baking powder, sugar and cocoa into a bowl. Beat together the milk, melted butter, egg and vanilla and mix well into the flour mixture. Pour into the greased pie dish. If storing overnight, cover with cling film and put in fridge. Just before cooking - preheat oven to 180C, remove cling film and sprinkle the sugar and cocoa over the pudding. Pour the boiling water over the pudding and cook for about 45 minutes until risen and firm. The pudding will be sitting in it's own chocolate sauce which can be spooned over the top. Serve with cream or ice cream.

This pudding can be made the day before you need it and kept in fridge overnight.
