Delicious Hot Sponge

The freshly baked hot sponge

Hot Pear Chocolate Milo sponge.

I had a poached pear in red wine and sugar. Kept in the fridge already, (the pears were shiny red in the sweet syrup),  what I needed was to prepare the sponge. 

The sponge mixture: a cup full of self-raising flour and 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons Milo, that was all the dry ingredients which were needed.  The wet ingredients: 50 g melted butter, 2 eggs (small), 2 teaspoons sour cream, half cup milk.

Mix the dry with the wet ingredients to make a smooth mixture to drop spoon consistency (adjust the mix, add more milk if need be)

You need four poached pear and half cup liquid syrup to cook the sponge, place onto a baking dish, and put in a preheated oven at 175 degrees C for about 10 minutes to heat up.

Pour the sponge mixture over it, and bake for about 18-22 minutes until the sponge is cooked.

Take it out from the oven, dust with icing sugar.

Serve hot, scoop the cake and pear onto a serving plate.  Add cream or ice cream if you wish.

We can indulge our self sometimes, mainly if you are tired, it picks you up, then enjoys the day better.  Hot soup is sufficient for the dinner.

You can use apple or banana whatever fruits that you fancy for the hot sponge.  Happy Baking!  

I wish you all to have a restful weekend and a relaxing Sunday.  Thinking of you Mel, Jane, Susan, the grandkids and family.

Until Next Post
