Ridiculous Chocolate Pudding Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1 cup boiling water
- Optional for serving: whipped cream or ice cream
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch (or similar size) baking dish.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients:
- Stir in the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined—do not overmix. The batter will be somewhat thick.
- Add Chocolate Chips:
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer to Baking Dish:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Add Boiling Water:
- Carefully pour the boiling water over the batter. Do not stir; it will create a pudding layer beneath the cake as it bakes.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. The center will be soft and pudding-like.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the cake cool for a few minutes before serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence.
Enjoy!
