Description

A decadent Hot Fudge Chocolate Pudding Cake that creates its own gooey fudge sauce while baking. This one-pan wonder is perfect for chocolate lovers, offering a comforting, indulgent dessert with minimal cleanup. Pair it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an unforgettable treat.


Ingredients

For the Cake:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup white granulated sugar

1/4 cup cocoa powder

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the Fudge Sauce:

1/2 cup white granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

3 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)

11/4 cups boiling water


Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan. Boil water in advance for the fudge sauce.

Mix the Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.

Prepare Fudge Sauce: In another bowl, mix 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.

Add Boiling Water: Carefully pour the boiling water over the top of the batter. Do not stir.

Bake: Bake for 35 minutes or until the center is nearly set.

Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for 15 minutes. The sauce thickens as it cools. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

For added crunch, fold in 1/2 cup chopped nuts.

Replace 1/4 cup boiling water with brewed coffee for a richer chocolate flavor.

Use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free dessert.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
