Mix together the sugar and semolina in a large bowl. Sift the cocoa powder and baking powder into the bowl, and mix thoroughly.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract with an electric whisk. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until well blended.

Lightly butter the ovenproof dish. Pour the mixture into the dish.

Bake the pudding in a preheated oven at 180°C (160°C fan, Gas 4) for 30 minutes or until the liquid has sunk to the bottom and the sponge is well risen and springy to the touch. Sprinkle with icing sugar, and serve at once.
