Looking for an easy chocolate treat? Look no further. This hot fudge chocolate pudding cake is easy to make, it’s so chocolaty, fudgy and so delicious. Serve this with a scoop of ice cream for an ultimate chocolate treat.
This hot fudge chocolate pudding cake will be the easiest dessert you will ever make! You don’t need a mixer for this recipe, just two bowls and a spoon. Once the cake is baked you get delicious fudgy chocolate sauce on the bottom and chocolate cake on top. My favorite way to serve this – with a few scoops of ice cream. It can’t get much better then that!
Ingredients needed
- Butter: I use unsalted butter.
- Flour: I use all purpose flour.
- Baking powder
- Sugar: You will be using granulated sugar and brown sugar.
- Cocoa powder: You can use dark unsweetened cocoa powder or regular unsweetened cocoa powder. Dark unsweetened cocoa powder will give you more darker and rich chocolate flavor.
- Milk: Any milk percentage will work.
- Water: You will need boiling water.
Making the cake
This hot fudge chocolate pudding cake has two parts to it. The cake part and the chocolate sauce. The cake part will rise to the top and the chocolate sauce will fall down; creating that fudgy chocolate sauce.
- Make the cake: Stir flour, baking powder, sugar, cocoa and a pinch of salt in a medium size bowl. Add the milk, melted butter and vanilla extract. Stir until combined. Spread the mixture onto greased baking dish.
- Make the topping: Whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar and cocoa. Sprinkle over the cake. Carefully pour hot water over the whole cake. Do not stir!
- Bake! You’ll bake the cake for about 30 minutes. Or until the cake is almost set.
