I was going to enter this for the Is My Blog Burning entry, but the brandy is such a small part of it, it hardly seemed right. However, I did make this last night and I thought I should share.
Chocolate Pudding Cake
This makes a pudding on the bottom of the pan while baking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 Tbs unsweetened cocoa
- 2 Tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp instant coffee powder optional
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 Tbs melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 Tbs dark rum or brandy
- Topping:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 Tbs unsweetened cocoa
- 1 2/3 cup hot water
Instructions
- Mix together the dry ingredients, then add the milk, butter, vanilla, and brandy or rum and mix until just combined.
- Spread the batter–it will be a bit thick–into an 8 or 9 inch square baking dish.
- Mix together the brown sugar and cocoa and sprinkle over the batter, then pour the hot water over it all.
- Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack at least an hour before serving so the pudding that has formed at the bottom has a chance to set up.
- This is delicious with a bit of whipped cream on top.
