How to Make Hot Fudge Chocolate Pudding Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In the prepared pan, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the hot water and chocolate pudding mix. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour the chocolate pudding mixture over the batter in the pan. Gently swirl with a knife or spatula to create a marbled effect (optional).
  6. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let the cake cool completely before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
