MUD POOL CAKE / CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE !!!!!

My today's recipe is from the blog BAKING BITES. Original name is "Chocolate pudding cake" but my son renamed it as "Mud pool cake" :D This cake is eggless & tastes just like molten lava cake. In original recipe, cake was baked in convention mode but i baked it in m/w mode for 11 mins & result was pretty good. & i used Funfood's Chocolate Fudge Spread instead of chocolate chips. This is a must try recipe.

INGREDIENTS:-

3/4 cup all purpose flour

2/3 cup sugar

1/2 cup cocoa powder, divided

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk 

3 tbsp vegetable oil (i used sunflower)

2/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup chocolate chips (miniature, if you have them)(i used chocolate fudge spread instead of choco chips here)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups hot water

METHOD:-

Preheat oven to 350F.

Combine flour, sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa, baking powder and salt in an 8 inch square baking pan and stir with a fork to combine. Mix in milk and oil until batter is uniform.

Sprinkle brown sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa and chocolate chips/chocolate fudge spread evenly over batter. Add vanilla to the hot water and pour over everything. Do not mix.

Place pan in oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until surface of the cake looks dry.(here i baked in m/w mode for 11 mins). The pudding will be bubbling around the edges. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Leftovers, if you have them, may be stored for one day at room temperature. Reheat before serving.

HAPPY COOKING :))))))
