Note From Mary:
I mean it. This is the best chocolate cake on the planet. It's like those volcano cakes you buy at restaurants. Serve hot with scoop of vanilla ice cream. Ruthy note: The art of pushing yourself to word production often needs a hint of decadent food. This recipe is all that and more!
Hot Fudge Pudding Cake
Mix together in bowl:
1 C. flour
¾ C. sugar
2 T. cocoa
2 t. baking powder
¼ t. salt
Add:
½ C. milk
2 T. butter (melted)
Pour into ungreased 9 x 9 cake pan. Stir together:
1 C. brown sugar
¼ C. cocoa
Sprinkle that over batter.
Pour over batter:
1 ¾ C. hot water
(Yes it looks awful, but trust me. Pour the water on.)
Bake at 3500 for 45 minutes. Cake on top is done, sauce in bottom isn’t. Its hard to tell if its done. It has to be eaten hot, even microwaved isn’t as good. Serve with ice cream.
