Not to be outdone by her older sister, who cooked a main course on Saturday night, Daughter 2 (aged 9) decided to cook the dessert for Saturday evening.
She chose to make a chocolate fudge pudding. This recipe is based on one from Antoinette Savill’s Allergy-Free Cooking for Kids 
Chocolate Fudge Pudding
Ingredients
100g gluten free flour
1 tsp gluten free baking powder
5 tablespoons of cocoa powder
50g chocolate chips
120g butter
120g caster sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
120g soft brown sugar
320ml boiling water
Method
Beat together the butter and caster sugar and when light and fluffy, beat in the eggs and vanilla extract. Add the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and mix – then add the chocolate chips.
Spoon the mixture into a greased oven proof dish (about 8-9in square), and spread it out evenly.
Mix the brown sugar, remaining cocoa and water together, and pour it over the mixture in the dish.
Cook the pudding for about 30 minutes at 180C.

I’ve written a book summarising what we’ve learnt over 20 years of dealing with the gluten free diet, and it might be just what you’re looking for. It packs the lessons we’ve learned into what I hope is a helpful and straightforward guidebook. It’s available on Amazon, as a paperback or for your Kindle… |
It’s nice that your kids get busy in the kitchen.
I was wondering what kind of gf flour was used in this recipe.
How did it turn out?
Thanks for the recipes. It sure makes life easier, knowing you can go to the web and find so many yummy, tested and safe recipes!
Hi Robin – thanks for dropping by.
I used a UK brand of gluten free flour (Wellfoods) for this recipe, though since Antoinette doesn’t specify a flour or a mix of flours, perhaps whatever you would usually use for a cake would work. It is a plain flour, that is, one without any raising agent already mixed in, and that might be important. I have baked and accidentally added extra baking powder (not realising that there was some already in the flour mx) – it makes for a very light result, but a very messy oven floor because of the overflow!
Hi
Did you use a mixer to beat ingredients or just a spoon?
Hi Maria
You could use either a mixer or just a spoon, right up until you add the choc chips – then I’d use a spoon rather than a mixer, so as not to break up the chips.
Let us know how it turns out for you, if you try it.
I am 54 Italian American now living in Sweden. I have now been out on gluten free diet. Do u have suggestions? Swedish food is new to me and now gluten free. Any recipes?
Hi Sandra
