Description
Hot Fudge Pudding Cake is a must-try dessert that combines a rich chocolate cake with a gooey fudge sauce underneath.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for topping)
- 2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 cup cocoa powder until well combined.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
- Carefully pour the hot water over the top of the dish. Do not stir; the water will create a fudge sauce underneath the cake as it bakes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the cake part comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, spooning the fudge sauce from the bottom over each portion.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of instant coffee granules to the batter.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for an extra treat.
- For a twist, try adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
