Description

This Easy Fudgey Pudding Cake is a comforting Southern classic that requires no mixer and minimal effort. The magic happens in the oven as the dry ingredients and condensed milk separate into two distinct layers: a soft, spongy chocolate cake on top and a warm, gooey fudge pudding underneath. It&# 226;€™s the perfect make-ahead dessert for potlucks, family gatherings, or a cozy night in. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to soak up the incredible sauce. Simple ingredients like baking mix, cocoa, and sweetened condensed milk come together to create a decadent treat that feels indulgent yet is surprisingly straightforward to prepare.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose biscuit baking mix and the Hershey's cocoa powder.
  3. 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.
  4. Stir the mixture until just combined and smooth. Do not overmix.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. 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.
  7. Slowly and carefully pour the liquid mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the pan. Do not stir the layers together.
  8. 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.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to allow the pudding layer to thicken slightly.
  10. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
