Warm and comforting, this special dessert from Mary Kelley of Minneapolis, Minnesota is timeless. You'll love its chocolaty goodness and moist, tender texture.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup milk
VANILLA SAUCE:

1 tablespoon cornstarch
Dash salt
1 cup cold water
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dash ground nutmeg

Directions

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly. Beat in egg. Stir in chocolate. Combine the flour, salt, cream of tartar and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well just until combined.
Pour into a well-greased 7-cup pudding mold; cover. Place mold on a rack in a stockpot; add 1 in. of hot water to pan. Bring to a gentle boil; cover and steam for 2 to 2-1/4 hours or until top springs back when lightly touched, adding water as needed.
Remove mold to a wire rack; cool for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in the butter, vanilla and nutmeg.
Unmold pudding onto a serving plate; cut into wedges. Serve warm with sauce.

I would like to know how much chocolate to use. It is not noted in the recipe.

What is a pudding mold? Is there an alternative way to prepare this, because I am a chocoholic and it sounds amazing.
