Super quick post today! Mostly because I only have one photo of this recipe since it’s from my cookbook. But I heard that it’s World Chocolate Day! And I figured it’s been too long since I’ve shared a recipe here. Any excuse for chocolate, right?
The main thing you should know about this recipe is that it’s rich and warm and gooey and absolutely delicious. These are the most important things. It’s cake-like on the outside, and because it’s topped with a chocolate/boiling water situation before baking, it’s almost like a warm gooey pudding or chocolate sauce on the inside. Totally perfect for when you have a major chocolate craving and need a fix.
Also it’s pretty easy! It’s all stir-together. No mixer required! Once the batter is in the pan, it’s sprinkled with a cocoa powder and brown sugar mixture, and then topped with boiling water. The most important thing to note here is that you DO NOT mix it in. Just let it sit on top of the batter and then put it in the oven to bake. That’s what gives it the gooey/chocolate-saucy filling! Serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream and you’re golden.
In the spirit of World Chocolate Day, some other insanely chocolate recipes from my cookbook (shameless plug) are Chocolate Whiskey Cheesecake, Death By Chocolate Mousse Cake, Classic Chocolate Cream Pie, and Chocolate Turtle Pecan Pie. Grab your copy here!
