How to Make Chocolate Pudding Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar, ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons (15g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 1 cup (240ml) milk, ⅓ cup (60g) melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  5. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, ¼ cup (50g) packed light brown sugar, and 4 tablespoons (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the sugar-cocoa mixture over the batter in the pan. Do not stir.
  7. Slowly pour 1 cup (240ml) boiling water over the top. Do not stir.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the cake stand for 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, topped with your favorite whipped topping or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
