Chocolate pudding cake is a delicious preparation that combines the fluffy texture of cake with the intense flavor of chocolate pudding. Its origin dates back to American cuisine, where chocolate desserts have been popular for decades. In Latin America, this dessert can be found with similar names or variations, depending on the country; for example, in Mexico and Colombia it is often simply known as "chocolate cake with pudding," while in Caribbean countries it may vary slightly in ingredients, but maintains the concept of a cake mix with a layer of moist and rich pudding. The particularity of this dessert lies in its preparation method, which allows the pudding to form directly during baking, creating a unique and delicious experience by combining two textures in a single dish.
How to Make Chocolate Pudding Cake II
To begin, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
In another bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla until the liquids are well integrated.
Add the nuts to the dry ingredient mixture, distributing them evenly.
Pour the complete mixture into a greased 9 x 9-inch pan to prevent it from sticking during baking.
Make sure to spread the mixture evenly in the pan.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar with 1/4 cup of cocoa powder.
Sprinkle this mixture over the batter in the pan, covering it evenly.
Carefully pour the hot water over the mixture, avoiding stirring so that the pudding layer forms correctly.
Do not stir the water with the batter to allow the pudding to be created during cooking.
Finally, bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 175 degrees Celsius) for 45 minutes.
