Description
This easy-to-make mocha pudding cake is a perfect dessert for two. As the cake bakes a pudding is created on the bottom so when you dig in you get warm and creamy pudding with every bite of cake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons 2% milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup hot decaf coffee (see note)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In 16-oz baking dish, whisk the flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and baking powder. Add the milk and oil and stir until well combined. Smooth the batter into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and the chocolate chips over the top of the batter. Pour the hot coffee over the top (don’t stir otherwise you won’t get the pudding).
- Bake the pudding cake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges of the cake start to pull away from the pan. The cake will still be jiggly in the center. Let the cake stand for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as is or top it with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- If you don’t love coffee you can make a chocolate only version by using the same amount of hot water instead. I’ve tested it both ways and enjoy both.
