Chocolate Brownie Pudding: A Vintage Magic Dessert
Hi, I'm Sarah Ait dahan, and I'm thrilled to share this nostalgic Chocolate Brownie Pudding recipe with you. Also known as "Hot Fudge Pudding Cake" or "Chocolate Cobbler," this dessert is pure magic. You pour boiling water over the batter, and as it bakes, it creates a rich, gooey chocolate sauce underneath a tender brownie-like cake. It's warm, comforting, and absolutely irresistible with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Make the Brownie Batter
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir until you have a thick, glossy chocolate batter.

Step 2: Spread in Pan
Pour the batter into a greased 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the bottom.

Step 3: Add the Topping
Mix together brown sugar and cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter. Don't stir it in—just let it sit on top!

Sarah's Baking Tips
- Serve Warm: This dessert is best enjoyed fresh from the oven when the sauce is hot and bubbly.
- Ice Cream is Essential: The cold vanilla ice cream against the warm pudding is perfection.
- Don't Overbake: The center should still jiggle slightly when you remove it from the oven.
