Hot Fudge Chocolate Pudding Cake 🍫🍰✨
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour 🥣
2/3 cup sugar 🥄
1/4 cup cocoa powder 🍫
2 tsp baking powder 🧁
1/4 tsp salt 🧂
1/2 cup milk 🥛
2 tbsp melted butter 🧈
1 tsp vanilla extract 🌼
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional) 🌰
3/4 cup brown sugar 🟤
1/4 cup cocoa powder 🍫
1 3/4 cups hot water 💧
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish. Let's get that oven ready!
2. In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, stirring until everything is combined beautifully. If you're feeling nutty, fold in those chopped nuts!
3. Pour the luscious batter into your greased baking dish, smoothing it out evenly.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar with another 1/4 cup of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this decadent mixture over the batter—it’s about to get fancy!
5. Gently pour the hot water over the top of everything. Don't stir! Just let it do its magic as it bakes.
6. Pop it in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until your cake has risen and the fudge sauce is bubbling underneath. It's time to get those aromas filling your kitchen!
7. Once it's done, serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for that perfect finishing touch.
Enjoy your delicious dessert! 🍨❤️
