Note: Doubling the cake recipe BUT leaving the syrup the same has also worked well for me. This is the way I make it for my family.

I did it that way the first time because my pan was too small to handle double the cake batter and the syrup!

The pudding cake is not as gooey and there will be less "juice." It comes very brownie-like but it is still very delicious - especially served with ice cream!

Chocolate Pudding Cake Recipe: Ingredients

Method for Chocolate Pudding Cake

Mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, milk and vanilla extract together.

The batter will be thick.

Add the nuts if you choose.

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. At this point, I use a cast iron pan - a Dutch oven or another pan than is oven proof should work as well.

Place the butter in the pan. Place the pan in the oven until the butter is melted.

In the meantime, in a saucepan, bring the water and the sugar to a boil.

When the butter is melted, place the batter in the pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Dump the sugar water on top and place in the oven. Be careful not to slosh hot sugar water on yourself!

Bake 25 to 30 minutes.

Let cool 5 to 10 minutes before eating.
