Hot Fudge Chocolate Pudding Cake

• temps total: 37 minutes

Ingrédients

1 cup all-purpose flour

2/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup cocoa powder

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk

2 tbsp melted butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1 3/4 cup hot water

Instructions

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

Prepare the cake batter:

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. 🌾🍬🍫

Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth batter. 🥛🧈🍦

If you’re using chopped nuts, fold them into the batter now. 🌰🍪

Transfer the batter:

Pour the cake batter into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish. 🍰

Prepare the fudge topping:

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and additional cocoa powder. 🍯🍫

Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter. 🍚

Add the hot water:

Carefully pour the hot water over the top of the cake (don’t stir!). The water will sink to the bottom and create a fudge sauce while the cake bakes. 💦🍫

Bake the cake:

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake has risen and the top looks set, while the fudge sauce is bubbling underneath. 🍰⏲️

Serve:

Let it cool slightly before serving. The pudding cake is delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. 🍦🍰

Enjoy your decadent Hot Fudge Chocolate Pudding Cake! 😋🍫
