Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt. In a 4-cup measuring cup, combine 1 1/4 cups heavy cream with milk and vanilla. Whisk 1 cup cream mixture into dry ingredients until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Whisk in remaining cream mixture until smooth.
• Place saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add chocolate and cook, whisking until chocolate is melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in butter until melted. Using a 3-ounce ladle, pour pudding into 6 dessert cups. Refrigerate until completely set, about 1 hour.
• Whip remaining cup of heavy cream to soft peaks, and serve with the pudding.

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup milk and cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk or stir with a fork until smooth and all lumps have been incorporated.
• Combine remaining milk with sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Cook, whisking as needed to prevent lumps from forming, until mixture begins to thicken, 8 to 10 minutes. Add chocolate chips and salt. Continue stirring until chips are completely melted and pudding is smooth and thickened, about 7 minutes more.
• Pour pudding into 1 large bowl or 6 individual bowls. Place plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming; smooth it gently against the surface. Refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Note: You will also need 8 mini pudding basins, each with a capacity of 6 fl oz or 175 ml, generously brushed with melted butter.
• Place the broken-up chocolate, along with the butter and brandy, in a large heatproof bowl, which should be sitting over a saucepan of barely simmering water.
• Make sure the bowl does not touch the water.
• Keeping the heat at its lowest, allow the chocolate and butter to melt slowly.
• This should take 6-7 minutes.
• Remove it from the heat and give it a good stir until it is smooth and glossy.
• While the chocolate is melting, place the sugar, whole eggs, yolks and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk on high speed with an electric hand whisk until the mixture has doubled in volume, about 5-10 minutes, depending on the power of your whisk.
• You need to end up with a thick, mousse-like mixture that, when you stop the motor and lift the whisk, leaves a trail like a piece of ribbon.
• Now you need to pour the melted chocolate mixture around the edge of the bowl (it is easier to fold it in from the edges) and then sift the flour over the mixture.
• Using a large metal spoon, carefully but thoroughly fold everything together.
• Be patient here as careful folding and cutting movements are needed.
• This will take 3-4 minutes.
• Now divide the mixture between the pudding basins (it should come to just below the top of each one) and line them up on a baking tray.
• If you like, the puddings can now be covered with clingfilm and kept in the fridge or freezer until you need them.
• When you are ready to bake the puddings, pre-heat the oven to 200C or 400F.
• Remove the clingfilm and bake on the centre shelf of the oven for 14 minutes if they have been chilled first, but only 12 if not; after that time the puddings should have risen and feel fairly firm to the touch, although the insides will still be melting.
• Leave to stand for 1 minute before sliding a palette knife around each pudding and turning out on to individual serving plates.
• If you are cooking these puddings from frozen, give them about 15 minutes cooking time and allow them to stand for 2 minutes before turning out.
• Serve straight away, with some chilled cream to pour over.

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa and cornstarch. Whisk in milk a little at a time so the mixture does not have any dry lumps.
• Place in the microwave, and cook for 3 minutes on high. Stir, then cook at 1 minute intervals, stirring between cooking times for 2 to 4 minutes, or until shiny and thick. Stir in vanilla.
• Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming, and chill in the refrigerator. Serve cold.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the ¼ cup whole milk and the cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining 1¾ cups milk, sugar, dark chocolate, dark Dutch-process cocoa powder, vanilla extract and sea salt. Heat over medium-low heat, whisking, until the chocolate is melted.
• Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
• Reduce the heat to low, and continue to stir briskly with a wooden spoon or a heatproof spatula. The mixture will come to a simmer and will slowly begin to thicken.
• Continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the pudding coats the back of the spoon and slowly drips off. It will be thick and will just be starting to bubble. Remove the pudding from the heat and pour into 4 serving ramekins or bowls. Let cool.
• Cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate the pudding until it sets, and serve.
• Cut the cold butter into ½-inch pieces. Let it come to room temperature.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter, 3 cups of the confectioners' sugar, ½ cup dark Dutch-process cocoa powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup Salted Dark Chocolate Pudding, and mix on low until just incorporated. Then beat on medium-high until the mixture is creamy and ingredients are incorporated, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Add more confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, and mix on low until the frosting is thick but spreadable. Beat for 1 minute after each addition. You may not need to add all the remaining sugar. Once you have your desired consistency, scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Raise the speed to medium-high, and beat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until very light and fluffy. The buttercream should be thick but spreadable. If the buttercream appears too thick, add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time. If it appears too thin, add more confectioners' sugar, 1 heaping tablespoon at a time.
• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease two 9-inch cake pans with butter and dust with flour. Line with parchment rounds and grease the rounds.
• In a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring the stout and unsalted butter to a simmer. (You can also melt the butter in your oven or in a large, microwave-safe bowl in a microwave oven and then whisk in the beer.) Remove the stout-butter mixture from the heat, add the Dutch-process cocoa powder and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Let cool for 5 minutes.
• While the stout-butter mixture cools, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sour cream and eggs.
• Add the stout-butter mixture to the egg mixture and whisk to combine. Then add the flour mixture, and combine with a rubber spatula until all the ingredients are incorporated and the batter is smooth, with no lumps. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl to incorporate any dry flour bits.
• Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each layer comes out clean. Transfer to a rack to cool.
• Frost the cake with the Dark Chocolate Pudding Buttercream.
