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.
