Hot Fudge Pudding

Sunday night is dessert night at my house. Occasionally though, I don’t feel like making it. That’s why this recipe is the bomb. Except for the final step, this is a dessert your kids can make. Or maybe even your husband. It’s that easy. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Hot Fudge Pudding

1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup whole milk
2 tbsps melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups boiling water
vanilla ice cream

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and 8×8 glass baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and 1/4 cup cocoa. Whisk in milk, butter and vanilla just until smooth. Spread batter into baking dish. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa; sprinkle evenly over batter. Carefully pour boiling water over mixture in baking dish; do not stir. Bake 30 minutes (batter will separate into cake and pudding layers). Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream.
