Tiramisu Self-Saucing Pudding

A pudding that makes its own sauce as it bakes. A simple cocoa batter goes into the dish first, then a mixture of instant coffee, brown sugar and boiling water is poured carefully over the top and left unstirred. In the oven the two separate, leaving a set sponge above and a dark coffee sauce beneath. While it bakes, mascarpone is whisked with icing sugar and Marsala or coffee liqueur to spoon over each serving. It carries all the flavours of tiramisu in a warm dessert, and it is rich enough that a little goes a long way.
