Description

This hot fudge pudding cake recipe yields a rich, chocolatey cake that sits on a gooey hot fudge sauce. Serve it warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 3/4 cups hot water

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
2 Whisk flour, sugar, 2 tablespoon cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in milk and butter until smooth. Fold in walnuts until just combined.
3 Spread batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
4 Combine brown sugar and ¼ cup cocoa powder in a small bowl; sprinkle on top of batter. Pour hot water over batter.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until center of cake is almost set, about 45 minutes. (Brown sugar, cocoa powder, and hot water will combine to form a chocolate sauce that will settle to the bottom of the cake during baking.) Serve it warm.
