Ingredients

1. For the Cake:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (50g)

  • 1/2 cup milk (120ml)

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (115g)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

2. For the Fudge Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (100g)

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (25g)

  • 1 1/2 cups hot water (360ml)

  • 1/4 tsp salt

3. For Serving (optional):

  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Instructions

πŸ”Ή Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Dish

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray. This ensures the cake will come out easily once baked.

πŸ”Ή Step 2: Make the Cake Batter

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.

  2. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thick, but this is expected.

  3. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.

πŸ”Ή Step 3: Make the Fudge Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.

  2. Sprinkle the cocoa-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter. Do not stir.

  3. Pour the hot water evenly over the top. Again, do not stir. The water will create the fudge sauce at the bottom of the cake as it bakes.

πŸ”Ή Step 4: Bake the Cake

  1. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly cracked, but the center is still a little soft. The fudge sauce will form at the bottom of the dish.

  2. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes. The sauce will thicken as it cools.

πŸ”Ή Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve the hot fudge chocolate pudding cake warm, spooning the gooey fudge sauce from the bottom of the pan along with the cake.

  2. Optionally, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to complement the rich chocolate flavor.

Tips for the Perfect Hot Fudge Chocolate Pudding Cake

  • Batter Consistency: The cake batter will be thick, which helps create a fudgy texture. Don’t worry if it looks too thick before baking!

  • Hot Water: The hot water is essential to create the pudding sauce layer at the bottom. It may look strange when you first pour it over the dry ingredients, but it’s what creates the delicious gooey sauce.

  • Serving Suggestions: This cake is best served warm with a cold scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to balance out the richness of the chocolate sauce.

  • Flavor Variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter or a splash of coffee for an added depth of flavor in the cake.

Energy-Saving Tips

  • You can skip the whipped cream or ice cream if you want a lighter version of the dessert.

Who Would Enjoy This?

  • Chocolate lovers who want a rich, decadent dessert that combines a cake and pudding in one dish.

  • Perfect for a comforting treat on a chilly evening or for an indulgent dessert after a family dinner.
