Chocolate Fudge Pudding Cake
Chocolate fudge pudding also known as self saucing pudding is a chocolate cake that creates a hot fudge sauce on the bottom while it bakes!
Ingredients
Batter:
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup AP flour
- 3 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1-1/2 tsp vanilla
Topping:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 4 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1-1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- For the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the milk, melted butter and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
- Pour into an ungreased 8-inch square glass baking pan, (or something comparable… I have a 7×11 dish that is perfect for this!)
- For the topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa. Sprinkle evenly all over the top of the batter.
- Gently pour the hot water over the top of the topping. Do not stir! (Yes, it just looks like a big puddle of chocolate water on top.)
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until center is almost set.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes, then serve. Spoon the hot fudge sauce in the bottom of the pan over the cake and serve with ice cream, whipped cream or heavy cream.
