How to Make Hot Mocha Pudding Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square ovenproof dish.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder, and 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup (240ml) milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ovenproof dish.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules, and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder.
  8. Sprinkle the coffee-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  9. Carefully pour 1 cup (240ml) boiling water over the top.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. The sauce will be on the bottom and the cake on top.
  12. Spoon out some cake and sauce into serving bowls. Serve warm or hot.
