Hot Fudge Pudding Cake 🍫🔥

Spread the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan. Then, sprinkle the reserved cocoa-sugar topping evenly over the batter.
Step 6: Add Boiling Water
Carefully and gently pour 1 cup of boiling water over the top of the batter. Do NOT stir! This step is crucial, as it will help create the fudgy sauce at the bottom.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for about 22-24 minutes, or until the top appears cracked and the sauce is bubbling. The time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it!
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, allow the cake to sit for about 10 minutes. This helps the flavors settle. Serve warm, preferably with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top—let it melt into the fudgy goodness beneath.
