This Gooey Chocolate Pudding Cake is the most rich and delicious chocolate dessert, you will ever eat. If you know a chocolate lover, or are one yourself, you need this in your life.

When it comes to desserts, gooey = good. This recipe for Gooey Chocolate Pudding Cake is a really old one that our grandma used to make.

You know that if Grandma was making it, it’s good stuff!

This cake is completely from scratch and although the directions sound a little strange, I promise that it works.

That gooey “pudding” goodness isn’t from a pudding mix, but instead it’s a melted chocolatey fudge that comes from the way you make the cake.

It’s pretty much amazing. Throw some ice cream on top of the hot cake and you have a perfect dessert.

Ingredients

1¼ cups sugar divided
1 cup flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
⅓ cup butter melted
1½ teaspoons vanilla
½ cup brown sugar
1¼ cups hot water
½ gallon vanilla ice cream optional topping
8 ounces hot fudge sauce 1 bottle, optional topping

Instructions

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix together 3/4 cup sugar, flour, 1/4 cup cocoa, baking powder and salt.
Add in the milk, butter, and vanilla and stir until smooth.
Pour batter into an ungreased 9 x 9 inch square baking pan.
Stir together remaining 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar and remaining 1/4 cup cocoa; sprinkle mixture evenly over batter.
Pour hot water over top; do not stir (I know that it sounds weird, but I promise that it will all work out!).
Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until center is almost set (you do not want to over cook or it will not have the warm gooey pudding in the bottom).
Remove cake from oven and let cool for about 15 minutes. When you scoop the cake into serving dishes, be sure to spoon the sauce from the bottom of the pan over the cake. Top with ice cream and hot fudge if desired.

Notes

You can also garnish with fresh fruit like raspberries or strawberries, or chopped nuts are delicious on this too!
