Self saucing Coffee & Chocolate Pudding (Eggless)

I was apprehensive whether to post this pudding now or not.The plagiarism issue is reeling over my head and I am neck deep in packing and disposing stuff.I could have done without the added pressure of looking out whether the copycat blog got closed down or not!Apparently we are dealing with a shameless person here,who despite several warnings,continues to post copied stuff.But I guess these mixed bag of emotions make life worthwhile.
Thank you to all of you who wrote in with words of support and encouragement.I don't know what I would have done without you guys.Really.

We chose this pudding for our Sweet Punch challenge this month.The name itself explains the texture of the pudding-self saucing pudding.The recipe and the method is very unique.First we make a pudding batter and then top it with a chocolate-coffee sauce and bake it.As it bakes,the cake/pudding comes up leaving a thick sauce underneath which makes the pudding a class apart.
 
If you like chocolate and coffee,you'd love this pudding.
