Warm Chocolate Pudding Cake

In addition to the sweet potato gnocchi I made last night, I also tried out a new cake recipe, this one from the sometimes fabulous, sometimes questionable cookbook How It All Vegan. My mom has a different recipe which I plan on trying out some other time just to compare, but this one turned out to be pretty excellent. Sinfully chocolatey and nice and gooey, the perfect way to finish a good meal.

Chocolate Pudding Cake

1 cup flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup soy/rice milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Sauce:
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 cups boiling water

Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, cocoa, and salt. Add the sugar, margarine, milk, and vanilla and mix gently until just mixed. Spread in a lightly oiled 9"x9" cake pan and set aside.

In a medium bowl mix together the 3/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Sprinkle evenly on top of the cake mixture. Then carefully pour the boiling water over the top. Do NOT Mix. Bake for 40 minutes. To serve scoop out portions and serve warm with ice cream.

I would like to know just how good this was? Did it melt in your mouth? Did it satisfy the craving? It looks awesome and I think I will make it. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Did you use cocoa powder or carob powder?

I really dislike the taste of carob so I wouldn't try making this recipe with carob powder; I used Scharffen Berger unsweetened cocoa powder. It's rich, flavorful and made by a very reputable chocolatier. Let me know how your attempt goes!

I love pudding cakes and I have heard nothing but good things about the How it all vegan recipe.

Goodness, your friends are very lucky people to be treated to this amount of yumminess. Keep posting the recipes, please!

So many recipes I have tried from that book have been total disasters, however, this one is one of my faves!
