Self Saucing Hot Fudge Pudding Cake

The transformation of cake batter, cocoa, sugar and hot water into a saucy pudding filled rich cake is nothing short of magical!

Batter Ingredients:
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 tbsps cocoa powder
2 tsps baking powder
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsps vegetable oil
2 tsps vanilla

Sauce:
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1  3/4 cups hot boiled water 

Mix the batter ingredients together, it will be thick.  Spoon and spread it into a greased 9" pie plate or flan pan.

For the sauce combine the brown sugar and cocoa and sprinkle on top of the batter. Pour the hot water on top using a spoon to pour over so that you don't make a hole in the batter but disperse the water more evenly.

You can hold the spoon up a little above the batter as you do it. I just laid it down for the picture because I don't have 3 hands. Although many times I wish I had : )

Ready for the oven but don't forget to put it on a baking sheet in case it overflows. (see 1st picture in this recipe!)

Bake in a 350 F oven for 30 minutes then serve warm. Great just like it is or, if you really have to...top it off with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!
