Description
This is a recipe I’ve tweaked and tinkered with a dozen times in attempts to make it upscale, to no avail. Why fix it? The original recipe, however humble, tastes like home. This is Mom’s Chocolate Pudding Cake.

Scale
For the Cake:
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 2 tablespoons light oil (canola, safflower, corn)
- 1/2 cup milk
For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 3/4 cups boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat 8 cup (medium-sized) baking dish with non-stick spray. Add all ingredients for the cake to the baking dish, and mix lightly with a spoon or spatula to form a batter.
- In a bowl or large measuring cup, add all ingredients for the sauce, including boiling water. Mix with a wooden spoon to dissolve all sugars and blend. Pour sauce over batter and place immediately in pre-heated, 350°F (175°C) oven and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove Chocolate Pudding Cake from the oven. Wait until it’s cooled down just enough so as not to burn the roof of your mouth and… devour it. Thanks, Mom.
