Baking dish: use unsalted butter to grease a 6 cup capacity baking dish then set aside.
Pudding: sift the self raising flour and cocoa powder into a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar. Then add the oil, Baileys, milk and vanilla. Use a rubber spatula to stir and combine. Then transfer the pudding batter into the prepared baking dish.

Sauce: sprinkle the cocoa powder and brown sugar over the top of the wet pudding. Then use the back of a large spoon to gently pour the boiling water over the top.
Cook: gently place the baking dish into the microwave. Set the heat to 10 minutes on high.

To serve: once the pudding has cooked, use oven mitts to remove it from the microwave and place it onto a heatproof surface. Add whipped cream and drizzle Baileys over the top. Then decorate with raspberries and serve immediately.

Note 1 - Self-raising flour and cocoa powder: I do sift these 2 ingredients for the pudding batter. Later for the sauce I don't sift the cocoa powder as the water very quickly dissolves it.
Note 2 - Caster sugar: you can use regular white sugar if you don't have caster sugar.
Note 3 - Vegetable oil: you can use olive oil if you don't have vegetable oil.
Note 4 - Bailey's Irish Cream: from my original recipe I take ½ of the milk and replace it with the Bailey's. This way we maintain a pudding texture that is rich and thick, on the dense moist side but not too watery. If you want even more Bailey's flavor add it to the sauce (drizzled over) as opposed to adding it to pudding batter.
Note 6 - Boiling water: for this I simply boil the kettle and then use a heatproof measuring jug to measure the required amount. I reduce the amount of boiling water used from my original Microwave Chocolate Pudding sauce as we add Bailey's to finish this version off.
Note 7 - To serve: you will see from the video that I pour ¼ cup Bailey's over the whipped cream as a serving idea. I then add the raspberries. This gets absorbed very quickly so do it right when serving not too long before hand.
Note 8 - Portion size: a little of this pudding goes a long way! Portions can be smaller than if you were serving a cake or cheesecake slice. 4 serves or more if smaller.
