Hot Fudge Pudding Cake Recipe

Inspired by memories of cook book for kids from when I was a kid, delicious, chocolaty, and very simple.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a square baking pan (or small oval casserole, or double recipe for big rectangle baking pan).

In a mixing bowl, add:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup baking cocoa
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 ts vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup milk

Mix it all up into thick batter. Spread into the greased square pan. Use a spatula to scrape out the mixing bowl pretty clean and dry.

In the fairly clean mixing bowl, add:

  • 1/4 cup baking cocoa
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar

Mix it up. Sprinkle over the top of the batter in the pan (don’t mix in at all).

Prep (in electric kettle or microwave or whatever):

  • 1 1/4 cup hot water

Pour the hot water over the pan (don’t stir or mix or anything).

Put into oven and bake about 40 - 45 minutes. The top will become a brownie like crust, with gooey hot fudge sauce below.

Remove from oven, let cool a few minutes, then serve immediately in bowls.

I like to serve with some milk or ice cream.
