Self-saucing chocolate cherry puddings

by Jeanne Horak on March 28, 2012 22 Comments in Baking (sweet), Dessert, Monthly Mingle, Recipes

So – who can tell me what a Trojan horse is?  This is one of those questions that shows your age, I’m afraid.  If you are of a certain age (ahem!) you will tell me about how the Greeks besieged the city of Troy but despite their efforts, nothing seemed to be able to break the spirit of the Trojans or breach their defences.  So instead of continuing with fruitless siege, they built a large and beautiful wooden horse which they dragged to the city gates and then retreated to their ships and sailed away.  The Trojans watched from the ramparts in bemusement, and when it seemed that all the Greeks were gone, they cautiously opened the city gates and wheeled the horse inside.  Unfortunately for them, the horse concealed a detachment of Greek soldiers who snuck out in the dead of night, opened the city gates for the rest of the Greek forces who had sailed surreptitiously back and Troy was defeated.  Which goes to show that it is always advisable to look a gift horse in the mouth!!

If you are of a younger vintage, you will probably tell me that a Trojan horse is a kind of computer virus – specifically, a stand-alone malicious program disguised as something harmless (a video of dancing pigs, for example) and inviting the user to download it, but designed to give full control of infected PC to another PC – usually a hacker’s.  Trojan horses can make copies of themselves, steal information, or harm their host computer systems – but if they sound appealing enough, users will persist in downloading them.  As US computer security expert Bruce Schneider said:

“If Mr J Random Websurfer clicks on a button that promises dancing pigs on his computer monitor, and instead gets a hortatory message describing the potential dangers of the applet — he’s going to choose dancing pigs over computer security any day. If the computer prompts him with a warning screen like: “The applet DANCING PIGS could contain malicious code that might do permanent damage to your computer, steal your life’s savings, and impair your ability to have children,” he’ll click OK without even reading it. Thirty seconds later he won’t even remember that the warning screen even existed.“

So it seems we have really made much progress since the wooden horse, really!

 

Cherries

I like to think of these little puddings as culinary Trojan horses.  They don’t promise dancing pigs (well, eat enough of them and you may start looking like a little piggy!) but they certainly conceal their true nature.  When I recently made them, a guest wandered into the kitchen, sniffed the air and said “oooh, chocolate brownies?”.  I suggested he look in the oven to see what I was really making – and his response after careful examination was “umm, really big round brownies?”.  And yes, unadorned to the untrained eye, I guess these babies do  look like big brownies trying to excape their ramekins.  But to assume this would be to underestimate what lurks beneath.  You see, these not boring old brownies.  In fact they disguise not only a chocolatey alcoholic sauce in their depths, but also hidden pockets of cherry deliciousness.

Fresh cherries are probably one of my all-time favourite indulgences.  I remember my mom and I buying am outrageously expensive bag of them on holiday one year and managing to devour the entire bag in the car before we even got back to our rented holiday house and the dilema of sharing them with the rest of the family.  I also remember last summer walking through Portobello Road market with a friend, eating cherries as big as small apricots out of a brown paper bag, congratulating ourselves with each mouthful with as much pride as if we had actually grown the cherries ourselves, rather than just bought them.  So when I found out that the theme for this month’s Monthly Mingle, the event created by my sister-from-another-mother Meeta and hosted this month by the lovely Melecotte was Berries and Cherries, I knew I had to enter.  I have made a number of cherry desserts over the years (cherry millefeuille, chocolate and wild cherry clafoutis, and cherry pavlova shots) but I had never really done a riff on the basic Black Forest cake ingredients (chocolate, cherries, cream and kirsch).  If the weather were warmer I might have made my black forest trifle, but it was still chilly a couple of weekends ago, so this recipe from the lovely Raspberri Cupcakes blog seemed far more appropriate.  And despite their hidden secrets, these babies won’t take control of your hard drive or lay waste to your cities, just your willlpower 🙂

SELF-SAUCING CHOCOLATE CHERRY PUDDINGS (serves 4-6)
(recipe from Raspberri Cupcakes)

Ingredients:

FOR THE BATTER:
125g plain flour
60g caster sugar
a pinch of salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp Dutch process cocoa powder
1 egg
1/2 cup cherries from a tin or jar, drained
1/3 cup milk
40g butter, melted
a few drops of vanilla essence (I used Nielsen Massey)

FOR THE SAUCE:
180g soft brown sugar
2 tbsp Dutch process cocoa powder
190ml boiling water
60ml Kirsch (cherry  brandy)

Extra cherries and whipped cream to serve

Method:

Preheat oven to 180C.  Grease four large ramekins (250ml capacity) with butter (or a 20cm square cake tin, or 6 medium ramekins).

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, butter, vanilla and egg. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix to combine before folding in the cherries. Divide the mixture evenly between the greased ramekins.

Mix the brown sugar and cocoa powder and sprinkle an equal amount over the top of the pudding mixture in each ramekin.  Mix the water and Kirsch together and pour equal amounts over each ramekin – make sure there is space to spare in your ramekins as there is quite a lot of liquid, plus the puddings rise while baking!

Place the ramekins carefully on a baking sheet and bake in the middle of the oven for about 30 mins, or until the puddings are firm to the touch and the sauce is bubbling around the edges. Cook time will be a little longer (40-45 mins) if you are using a single cake tin but do NOT overcook as all the delicious sauce will be absorbed by the pudding batter!  Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes, then serve warm topped with whipped cream and cherries.

Note:

Next time I might try to get more organised and macerate the cherries in the kirsch overnight before adding them to the batter.

    These look gorgeous. I haven’t had black forest gatteau since I was a little kid and always thought of it as such a treat so I love the way you’ve taken the flavours and updated them and made them in a pudding form!

    mmmmhhhh i LOVE your self-saucing puds! this one is right up my alley, unfortunately, cherries DO cost and arm and a leg here… so i might either have to go with tinned or find a nice substitute… like raspberries (which cost just half an arm and half a leg) 😉

    I know the original story, but the first things that came to mind was – yes! – the computer virus. I love the sound and look of a seal-saucing pudding, but it gets even more perfect when you add the words chocolate and cherry. Oh my! They look delicious and so comforting…

    I can’t help thinking there’s a joke in the idea of a ‘self-saucing’ pudding – along the lines of the comedian who used to say ‘Sauce!’ whenever his fall guy was cheeky – but I can’t quite think what it is. But, more to the point, I adore the look of these creations, Jeanne.

    Try swapping the milk in the recipe with the same quantity of a good Belgian kriek (cherry) beer. I suspect you’ll end up with an even lighter cake mix.

🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London! Every 🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London!

Everywhere you look, these long-legged floral supermodels are adding a splash of colour to parks and gardens and I just can’t get enough of them! It’s easy to see how they inspired a collective buying frenzy in 17th Century Holland, called “tulip fever”, but today there are less dramatic ways to enjoy them. Here are a couple of suggestions of where to see them at their best:

🌷 The ultimate tulipalooza is the annual opening of Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam where 7 million (!) bulbs burst into life each Spring. This year the gardens are open 24 March-15 May (click on the link in my bio for FAQs and my top tips for visitors)

🌷In London, Kew Gardens always has spectacular displays of tulips; but you can also see excellent and free tulips in most of the Royal Parks such as Regents Park. 

🌷The Hampton Court Palace tulip festival is on until 2 May and the Hever  Castle’s Tulip Celebrations until 24 April - both within easy reach of London.

🌷The Morges Fete de la Tulipe in Switzerland takes place every year against the spectacular backdrop of Lake Geneva - it is on until 8 May this year.

I spotted these spectacular red frilly parrot tulips beside St Paul’s Cathedral yesterday 🌹 Where is the best display of tulips that you have ever seen?

🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸 T 🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸

There is no season in London that I love more than cherry blossom season! From March through to April, trees in various parks and gardens in London put on an amazing display of delicate pink and white blossoms - and everything in the city seems a little more magical. This particular tree near St Pauls must be among London’s most photographed, and it’s not hard to see why 💕

Did you know that...

🌸cherry blossoms are Japan’s national flower and are known as Sakura 

🌸In 1910, Japan sent the USA some cherry trees as a goodwill gesture… and the Dept of Agriculture inspectors nearly caused an international incident by burning them as they were carrying insects and diseases! But in 1915 Japan sent more cherry trees that survived the inspectors, and these marked the start of cherry trees in the USA.

🌸 Peak blossom season is usually only two to three weeks in March/April but is hard to predict as the weather and the subspecies of tree influence the timing.

🌸The cherry blossom capital of the  world is Macon, Georgia with 300,000 - 350,000 Yoshino cherry blossom trees.

🌸 There are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossom and some are purely ornamental (meaning they produce no cherries)

Where is your favourite place to see cherry blossoms in London or around the world? Let me know in the comments and happy blossom hunting! 🌸🍒🌸

*NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, *NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, capers and dill. Pretty in pink 💕

[AD] Blood oranges are a small obsession of mine - from blood orange posset to blood orange and halloumi salad to blood orange & Cointreau upside down cake, I am always looking for new ways to make the most of their short season. Barbecuing them with salmon, capers and dill is a perfect match in terms of flavour as well as colour (or you can oven bake the salmon if it's not barbecue weather where you are!)

When @grahambeckuk asked me to suggest some recipes to match their wonderful Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV sparkling wine from South Africa, this was a pairing made in heaven, and wonderfully colour co-ordinated with their silver-pink bubbly. Get the full recipe and find out more about Graham Beck's sparkling wines, made using the same methods as Champagne, on my blog - link in my bio above.

Would you believe me if I told you this is NOT a p Would you believe me if I told you this is NOT a picture of a Moorish palace, a castle or a cathedral? And that you can get to it from central London in under an hour?

This is Crossness Pumping Station @crossnesset , a Grade I listed heritage site and one of London's last remaining magnificent Victorian sewage (!) pumping stations in Abbey Wood near Rainham. 

Did you know that...

💩 You can visit the building on monthly open days - the next one is Sun 20 Feb. Book at www.crossness.org.uk

💩  It was only in 1856, after 3 major cholera outbreaks in 30 years and the Big Stink when the stench of London's sewage finally reached Parliament, that construction of an intercepting sewer system for the city was approved.  The system (parts of which are still in use today) was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer of London's Board of Metropolitan Works at the time.

💩  At Crossness, all London's sewage from south of the river was was raised by 9-12 metres to large reservoirs so that gravity would cause it to flow further east and into the Thames estuary. (Yes, until the 1880s, raw sewage was simply pumped into the Thames!)

💩 The incoming liquid was raised by the four enormous steam driven pumps, built to Joseph Bazalgette's design. The pumps were named Victoria, Prince Consort, Albert Edward, and Alexandra. They are thought to be the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, with 52-ton flywheels and 47-ton beams. 

💩 The pumping station was decommissioned and abandoned in the 1950s but declared a listed building in 1970.  Although all 4 beam engines remain in place, they were so damaged that today (thanks to the efforts of the Crossness Engines Trust) only Prince Consort has been restored to working condition and can be seen in action on open days.

💩 The exuberant and colourful wrought ironwork inside is the amazing work of architect Charles Henry Driver. My favourite detail is the fact that the pillars in the central atrium are topped with stylised figs and senna pods... two of nature's greatest natural laxatives 🤣

Ever noticed how you are affected by colours? 🌈

Maybe some colours make you agitated and some make you relaxed. Or maybe you find yourself inexplicably attracted to a particular colour (oh, hi teal and aqua!💙). On the basis that all colours have a wavelength, and that those outside the visible spectrum can affect us, it makes sense that the colours we see can affect our mood or even our physiology. Did you know for instance that exposure to red light can increase your blood pressure and heart rate? Are there any colours that you find yourself particularly attracted to or affected by?

The pretty colours of these roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts will be the first things that attract you to this dish - but it is the delicious combination of flavours and textures that will keep you coming back for more!

The recipe (and more about how colour affects us mentally and physically) is now live on my blog - click the live link in my profile and remember to like and bookmark this post to see more Cooksister in your Instagram feed ❤️
Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something.

Perspective is the one thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has given us plenty of. It has certainly made us re-evaluate what is truly important, and also what we did and didn't enjoy about our lives  before the pandemic and its associated lockdowns. It made me appreciate how much happiness my house, my job, my friends, my own company and my running bring to my life (and how fortunate I am to have all these things). But it also brought home how much I enjoy and miss travel, the theatre, and the luxury of reataurant visits at the drop of a hat. I don't think words can describe my joy at sipping the first coffee purchased from a coffee shop in summer 2020 as lockdown eased. It's the little things...

One of the things I have enjoyed and will not miss as the world creeps back to normality is the absence of crowds in what is usually a crowded city. On the occasions that I have been in central London since the start of the pandemic, streets have been blissfully empty and it has felt as if I were discovering my city anew. This glorious perspective (hah!) of St Paul's Cathedral normally requires a long wait while a queue of tourists and "influencers" ahead of you pose for photos - but on this glorious day last Spring it was almost deserted. I will miss that...

Is there anything you will miss as Covid-19 restrictions start to be lifted?
