HOT FUDGE CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE RECIPE

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour (195g)

1 1/4 cup granulated sugar (275g) - can be reduced to 1 cup if you don't want the cake to be too sweet

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp salt

2 eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil (100g)

1/2 cup buttermilk (120g) - use 1/2 cup milk + 1/2 tbsp vinegar to make your own

1/4 cup boiling water (60g)

1/3 cup cocoa powder (33g)

1 tsp instant coffee

1/2 cup white granulated sugar (110g)

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (100g)

4 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 1/2 cups boiling water (360g)

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 350F (conventional) and prepare a 7x11 or 9x9" baking dish with some butter (I recommend ceramic so you can serve the cake in the same dish)

Combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl, getting rid of any lumps

Add the eggs, oil and buttermilk, and use a hand whisk to combine the ingredients

In a separate bowl, pour the boiling water on top of the cocoa powder and instant coffee, and whisk until smooth and shiny

Add the cocoa powder mixture to the remaining cake batter and gently fold until combined

Pour the batter in the prepared baking dish

For the fudge sauce, mix the sugars and cocoa powder and get rid of any lumps. Sprinkle over the cake batter inside the baking dish

Gently pour over the boiling water on top of the cake batter, being careful and spreading it evenly

Place the cake in the oven and bake for ~30-35 min depending on the size of your pan. You want the cake to look firm and cooked on the top, but it should be fudgy and gooey on the bottom - it is better to underbake than overbake it

Serve the cake while still hot with some vanilla ice cream, and enjoy!
