Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose biscuit baking mix and the Hershey's cocoa powder.
-
Add 1 cup of the sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup of Hershey's syrup (or chocolate syrup), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
-
Stir the mixture until just combined and smooth. Do not overmix.
-
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining sweetened condensed milk, the remaining 3/4 cup of chocolate syrup, and 1/2 cup of hot water.
-
Slowly and carefully pour the liquid mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the pan. Do not stir the layers together.
-
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the cake layer comes out clean, while the bottom remains liquidy.
-
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to allow the pudding layer to thicken slightly.
-
Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
