This is from the Wartime Kitchen and Garden; the recipe was posted up on the Creative Living forum, and proved very popular. It was popular in our hosue too, where the small size of the portions was the only criticism lol. Well worth making; I used butter, though, as that's what I had. I very very rarely buy/use margarine.
Wartime Chocolate Pudding
2 oz margarine
1 oz sugar
1 cup grated carrot
2 tbsp golden syrup
2 cups flour
1 heaped tbsp cocoa
1 tsp bicarb
1 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
½ pint milk
A little vanilla essence
Cream the margarine with the sugar and stir in the grated carrot, syrup and the rest of the dry ingredients. Add milk and a few drops of vanilla essence. Mix to a fairly stiff consistency. Put into a greased basin and steam for 2 hours.
