Makes 6

Ingredients

1 cup mixed dried fruit
1/4 cup dark rum
150g good-quality dark chocolate, chopped
125g butter, chopped
3 eggs
1/3 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
1/3 cup plain flour, sifted
1/4 cup self-raising flour, sifted
1 tablespoon cocoa powder, sifted
cocoa powder and vanilla ice-cream, to serve

Method

1. Combine dried fruit and rum in a bowl. Stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
  
2. Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a 6-hole, 3/4 cup-capacity, non-stick Texas muffin pan. Place chocolate and butter in a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high (100%) for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally with a metal spoon, until melted and smooth.
  
3. Using an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar until thick and creamy. Add chocolate mixture. Beat to combine. Fold in flours, cocoa and dried fruit mixture.
  
4. Spoon mixture into muffin holes until three-quarters full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre has moist crumbs clinging. Dust with cocoa. Serve with vanilla ice-cream.

Notes

For rum and raisin puddings, replace mixed fruit with 1 cup chopped raisins.
