Chocolate Pudding Cake


Oh yum!  That's about all you can say about this out-of-this-world dessert.  Not all cake, yet not all pudding, this treat is divine served with freshly whipped cream (although ice cream will do in a pinch), warm from the oven.  This cake is quick, simple and elegant enough to serve to company.

Chocolate Pudding Cake

Preheat oven to 350°

Combine in 2 quart baking dish:
1 C flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 T cocoa powder
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 C sugar
Stir well

Add to dry ingredients:
1/2 C milk
2 T butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Mix well by hand

Combine and sprinkle over cake batter:
3 T cocoa powder
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C brown sugar

Pour over all:
2 C hot water

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.

Combining dry ingredients
Adding the liquid
Dry and wet ingredients combined
Sprinkled with the sugar/cocoa mixture
Hot water poured over the whole lot
And out comes a cake-like wonder
Beneath the cake is luscious chocolate pudding!
With freshly whipped cream
Pour yourself a lovely cup of tea and indulge in this chocolaty goodness!

    Do you have to keep showing us those wonderful desserts.
    Since I cannot cook, I am being tortured by looking at all the foods that you show on your blog.
    I guess Im gonna have to go to wallymart and get a giant Hersey Dark chocolate bar and a box of Twinkies (if they still sell them) too simulate the dessert pictured above.

    Is true Twinkies can survive for 1,000 years?

  5. Wow! I can't imbibe but I certainly intend to make this for my family. Maybe even try it in the crockpot, which is something I can use when we are on solar power. Then again, maybe showing hubby the pictures you posted of it will make him put making a solar cooker at the TOP of his list so we can try to cook it that way. I'm thinking that even a failure to cook would result in a yummy treat.
