Mocha Chocolate Pudding Cake

I may not be a lover of all things chocolate, but I simply adore a chocolate pudding cake. You know the one where you have a batter on the bottom of the pan, but when you pour a hot liquid topping over it, the liquid sinks to the bottom and becomes a pudding while the batter rises to the top and becomes cake. It is beyond scrumptious! Thick chocolate pudding coating the dense, chewy delectable cake layer. I mean what’s not to like? The last time I made it I asked Sparky what he thought of my idea to add coffee to it and make it a Mocha Chocolate Pudding Cake. I’m telling you, his eyes widened, he smiled and said “Yes! Go for it.” So, I did and let me tell you I will never make a plain chocolate pudding cake again. Coffee really puts it over the top! Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream and you have a real tasty treat!

Here’s what we’ll need. (Well, we won’t need the Zinnia!)

Mocha Chocolate Pudding Cake

Calling all coffee lovers! A rich, dense almost brownie like cake is baked over a thick chocolate mocha pudding. To serve, scoop out a portion and flip it over on a plate so the pudding is on top and oozes over the cake. Oh my goodness! This is one plate of deliciousness that would make me eat dessert first!
