Ingredients

For the Batter

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the sauce

  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • cup boiling water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan, or an 8 cup / 2 quart size baking dish.
    Pre-boil the water for the sauce.
  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • Combine flour, baking powder, salt, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup cocoa.
    In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk and vanilla.  Add to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth and lump free.
  • Pour the batter into prepared baking pan or dish and spread evenly.
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • Combine the brown sugar, and remaining 4 tablespoons of cocoa.
    Sprinkle evenly overtop of the cake batter.
    Pour the boiling water over the batter, but do not mix.
    Note: allow the liquid to sit on top of the batter, it does not need to be mixed in. As the pudding cake bakes the liquid will form the fudge sauce.
  • Bake 35 minutes or until the centre is almost set. Remove from oven. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Serve a scoop of the cake with some of the fudge sauce spooned over top. Delicious on it's own, or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
