Ingredients
  

Batter
  • 1 cup Flour substitute with gluten-free flour for a GF option
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder ensure it's fresh for proper rising
  • 1/2 tsp Salt use fine salt for even distribution
  • 1 cup Sugar brown sugar can be substituted for a richer flavor
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder use unsweetened cocoa powder for best results
  • 1/2 cup Butter (melted) vegan margarine is a good substitute
  • 1 cup Milk opt for dairy-free milk for a dairy-free version
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract pure vanilla extract is preferred
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts (optional) omit for a nut-free option
Topping
  • 1 cup Sugar adjust to taste
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar adds richness and moisture to the pudding layer when baked
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder follow the same notes as above
  • 2 cups Boiling Water do not substitute with cold water

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Rubber spatula
  • Casserole Dish
  • whisk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk to blend well before adding melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth, then fold in walnuts if using.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased 1.5-quart casserole dish, spreading it evenly. This will act as the base for the fudgy pudding layer.
  4. Mix the topping ingredients in a separate bowl: sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Sprinkle evenly over the batter without stirring.
  5. Carefully pour boiling water over the surface of the batter and topping layers. Do not mix; the water will create a pudding layer underneath the cake.
  6. Bake for approximately 30 minutes. The top should be set; the center may look slightly underbaked.
  7. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream.
