Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted (divided) dutch processed
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup mini dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1¼ cups very hot water (not boiling)

Instruction

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F (180°C)  
  • In an 8 inch (20cm) square or a 9 inch (22cm) round cake pan, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, half the cocoa, baking powder and salt. Add the milk and vegetable oil combine well with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  • On top sprinkle first the brown sugar, then the remaining cocoa, and last the chocolate chips. Do not stir.
  • In a medium bowl add the very hot water (but not boiling water) and stir in the vanilla. Pour the water directly over the batter in the pan and do not stir. This method will give you more pudding when baked.
  • OR if you prefer more cake than pudding, then stir the mixture in the pan, then pour the hot water over it. Again do not stir. For both methods, do not stir the hot water into the mixture, it must sit on top.
  • Bake for approximately 30 minutes, just until the sides start to pull away from the pan and the top starts to crack slightly, the middle will be a little jiggly. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or some whipped cream. Enjoy!
