Description

This Hot Fudge Pudding Cake is the ultimate comfort food dessert, requiring no mixer and minimal effort. The magic happens in the oven: as the cake bakes, the hot water creates a steamy environment that melts the sugars and cocoa on top, sinking through to form a luscious, warm chocolate sauce at the bottom. The result is a tender, moist cake layer sitting atop a rich, gooey fudge pool. Its incredibly easy to make with pantry staples like flour, cocoa, and butter. Perfect for ending a casual family dinner or serving to guests, its best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. This recipe delivers maximum chocolate flavor with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup of the sugar, flour, 3 tablespoons of the cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla to the dry ingredients; beat until the batter is smooth.
  4. Pour the batter into an ungreased 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch square baking pan.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the remaining sugar, brown sugar, and remaining cocoa.
  6. Sprinkle the sugar-cocoa mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
  7. Pour the hot water evenly over the top of the dry mixture; do not stir.
  8. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the cake portion (not the center sauce) comes out mostly clean.
  9. Let the cake stand for 15 minutes to allow the sauce to set slightly.
  10. Spoon portions into dessert dishes, ensuring to scoop the warm fudge sauce from the bottom of the pan over the top of each serving.
