Note

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving to restore the warm, gooey texture.

Variations: For a richer flavor, substitute half-and-half for the milk. You can also add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the dry ingredients to enhance the chocolate flavor.

Tip: Ensure the water is boiling hot when poured over the batter to help create the distinct pudding layer at the bottom.

Serving Suggestion: This cake is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
