This Hot Fudge Pudding Cake is a self-saucing dessert where a rich, chocolatey cake magically bakes with a gooey fudge sauce underneath. Perfect served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
  • 2 tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) hot water

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square or round baking dish.

2. Make the Cake Batter:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until smooth.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

3. Prepare the Topping:

  • In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cake batter.

4. Add the Hot Water:

  • Pour the hot water evenly over the sugar topping. Do not stir—the water will form the sauce as it bakes.

5. Bake:

  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top of the cake is set and slightly cracked but the sauce underneath is still bubbling.

6. Serve:

  • Let the cake cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm, spooning some of the pudding sauce from the bottom over each piece. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • For a deeper chocolate flavor, add 1/4 tsp espresso powder to the cake batter.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave to restore the gooey texture.
  • Experiment with add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts for extra texture.
