I've been making this recipe for many years. With a fudgy, brownie-cake and rich chocolaty pudding, it's a go-to favorite when I want something chocolate and decadent. It's very easy to make, with ingredients I always have on hand. My husband asks for it often, and it always gets rave reviews :) In my personal recipe rating system, five stars is as good as it gets!

  • 4
    Beat in the flour mixture, with milk enough to blend.

    NOTES: If you want to dress it up for company, garnish with whipped cream or ice cream, and chocolate curls or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. This recipe reheats well. *By substituting gluten-free all purpose flour, this recipe is easily made gluten free. (Try Bob's Red Mill brand for the cake batter, and Gifts of Nature brand for the pudding.)
