Hot Fudge Pudding Cake image

This recipe has big chocolate flavor to match its gooey, fudge-like appearance. The success of the sauce depends on using the right ratio of boiling water, sugar and cocoa. Put a fancy spin on this recipe by baking individual pudding cakes: Spay eight 6 oz. oven proof ramekins or coffee cups with cooking spray. Fill each with 2 T. butter. Top each with 1 1/2 T. batter. Top each with 1 1/2 T. cocoa mixture, followed by 2 T. boiling water. Arrange cups on rimmed baking sheet and bake until tops are just cracked, 20 to 25 minutes. This is Chef Stephanie Alleyne's recipe. It's a "keeper." Let me know if (when) you agree!
