How to Make Denver Chocolate Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder.
  3. In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter and 3 tablespoons cocoa powder. Stir until smooth.
  4. Gradually whisk the dry ingredients (from step 2) into the melted butter mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 2 cups milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  7. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  8. Slowly pour 1 cup of freshly brewed, strong coffee over the top of the sugar and cocoa mixture. Do not stir.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let the pudding cool completely at room temperature (at least 1 hour) before serving. This allows the pudding to set properly.
