Description
This Fudge Pudding Cake is a warm chocolatey romance of decedent cake drizzled in silky smooth fudge sauce and when married with vanilla ice cream becomes a match made in heaven. This is the dessert that everyone raves about as they remember the crispy crust protecting that soft chocolate cake, soaked in warm fudge sauce.
Ingredients
1 cup (150g) all purpose flour
2 teaspoon (7g) baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup (130g) granulated sugar
1 ½ tablespoon (10g) cocoa
½ cup (120ml) milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons (1oz) butter plus more for greasing pan
For topping:
3 tablespoons (20g) cocoa
1 cup (160g) brown sugar
1 ¾ cup (400ml) boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, first portion of cocoa powder and pecans if adding. Gently stir to combine.
- In a small mixing bowl combine the milk, vanilla and melted butter. Add these wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and mix to combine well.
- Grease a 6 cup casserole dish or cast iron pot using soft butter (do not use cooking spray) and then spread the mixed batter evenly in the dish.
- In a small bowl combine the second portion of cocoa powder and brown sugar. Sprinkle this evenly over the batter. Pour the boiling hot water over the entire cake.*
- Bake for 50 minutes uncovered.
- To serve, cut and plate the cake first. Then spoon the fudge sauce on top of each piece. Top with ice cream (and more fudge sauce) if desired. Serve while still hot.
