• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/3 cup of cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

3. Combine with Butter: Cut 2 tablespoons of softened butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in half of the coffee mixture until smooth.

4. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease an 8-cup (2-liter) ovenproof dish. Spoon the batter into the dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

5. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 1/4 cup of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.

6. Add the Remaining Coffee Mixture: Pour the remaining coffee mixture over the top of the batter. Do not stir. This will create a rich, chocolatey sauce that forms underneath the cake as it bakes.

7. Bake: Place the dish in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven and bake for 30 minutes. The cake is ready when the sauce is bubbling and the cake is firm to the touch.

8. Serve: Allow the pudding cake to cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious on its own or served with a scoop of ice cream, a dollop of frozen yogurt, or a splash of whipping cream if desired.
