When it comes to desserts, gooey = good.
This recipe is a really old one and it seems like everyone I talked to has a version that their 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.
what else could i top this cake with?
For this cake, we used ice cream. I love ice cream with hot cake and brownies, and this recipe is perfect for it.
However, there are plenty of other delicious toppings you could include:
- Candy bars (Snickers, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Kit Kats, Milky Ways, Heath Bar, etc.)
- Oreo Cookies
- Andes Mints
- Chocolate Chips
- Peanut Butter Chips
- White Chocolate Chips
- Caramel Drizzle
- Chocolate Drizzle
- Hot Fudge
- Ice Cream (I love this with vanilla, but if you have a chocolate lover in your family, you could also use a chocolate ice cream. I do love a good Cookies n’ Cream Ice cream with this one).
- Fruit (fresh strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, bananas, etc.)
could i doulbe this recipe?
This recipe is so delicious and so easy. It would also work great if you double it.
We recommend baking it in a 9 x 13 inch pan. You will also want to cautiously watch it as it cooks, because it will take a little longer to cook.
We recommend cooking it for about, 45 – 50 minutes.

- Pour hot water over top; do not stir (I know that it sounds weird, but I promise that it will all work out!).
