Hot fudge chocolate pudding cake is a decadent dessert that combines the rich flavors of chocolate cake with a gooey, fudgy sauce. Here’s a basic recipe to make this delightful treat:
Ingredients:
For the cake batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the fudge sauce:
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 3/4 cups hot water
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt for the cake batter.
- Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. The batter will be thick.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cocoa powder for the fudge sauce. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cake batter in the baking dish.
- Pour the hot water over the entire mixture in the baking dish. Do not stir.
- Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is set and the sauce is bubbling up around the edges.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the hot fudge chocolate pudding cake warm, spooning the sauce over each portion. Optionally, you can top it with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
Enjoy your delicious hot fudge chocolate pudding cake!
