Indulge in this easy Hot Fudge Pudding Cake recipe, a decadent dessert with a rich chocolate cake on top and a gooey hot fudge sauce underneath.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (for the cake)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for the topping)
  • 1 1/4 cups boiling water

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
  5. Slowly pour the boiling water over the top—do not stir.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top looks set but jiggles slightly.
  7. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. The cake will have a pudding-like sauce underneath.

Notes

 

  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the best flavor.
  • For an extra chocolatey taste, sprinkle chocolate chips on the batter before adding the boiling water.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
