Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | All-purpose flour |
| 2 | Baking powder |
| 1/2 | Cup milk |
| 2 | Tablespoons unsalted butter |
| 1 | Teaspoon vanilla extract |
| 3 1/2 | Tablespoons cocoa powder |
| 1 3/4 | Cups sugar |
| 1 | Cup hot water |
| 1 | Cup powdered sugar |
| 2 | Teaspoons vanilla extract |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your cake bakes evenly to perfection.
-
Prepare Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, milk, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Add 1-1/2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 3/4 cup of sugar to the mixture. Stir until well combined, creating a smooth batter.
-
Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter into an 8 or 9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.
-
Prepare Chocolate Sauce: In another bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 cup of sugar, and hot water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the cocoa is fully incorporated.
-
Top with Chocolate Sauce: Carefully pour the chocolate sauce over the cake batter in the baking dish. The sauce will sink into the batter, creating a luscious pudding layer as the cake bakes.
-
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Prepare Whipped Cream: While the cake is baking, prepare the whipped cream. In a chilled bowl, combine the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add the chilled beaters to the mixer and whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
-
Serve: Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Serve the pudding cake upside down to reveal the gooey chocolate layer on top. Garnish each slice with a dollop of freshly whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
