Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons espresso powder
- 1.5 cups hot water
- 0.5 cup walnuts (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined and a thick batter forms.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate small bowl, mix the light brown sugar and espresso powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
Pour the hot water evenly over the entire surface of the batter. Do not stir; the water will create a pudding sauce as the cake bakes.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top for a crunchy texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still a bit wobbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. The pudding layer will thicken as it sits.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
