One of the best hot fudge pudding cake recipes I've tried. Since a few others complained it wasn't chocolatey enough, i added 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips. I also split everything between six ramekins and made it into an individual dessert then baked it for 25 minutes. It was just fantastic. I will be making this again in the future.

Hope you know by now that you cool it in the pan!

You put the dish on the cooling rack. You don't put the actual dessert on there.

This is a very easy recipe, and is VERY GOOD. My kids loved it. It is best if it cools for a bit, like an hour or so. Otherwise it is like syrup and melts the ice cream, after cool, it is like a hot pudding! GREAT!!!! Would make again and again! Great with vanilla ice cream!

I use King Arthur double dutch cocoa and it is rich and chocolatey. Cooled to room temp and served with a dab of whipped cream, it is a new family favorite. No leftovers here!
