Introduction (Summary)
By combining boiling water and cake batter, you can create a decadent pudding-plus-cake dessert. Cooking for Kids on SingleDad
Necessary Things:
- Ingredients: Makes 10 Servings
- 1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder, divided
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup 1% milk
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup very firmly packed light-brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
Step 1:
By combining boiling water and cake batter, you can create a decadent pudding-plus-cake dessert. You’ll impress your guests with this easy treat -- and feel good knowing it contains fewer calories and fat than most desserts. Cocoa powder contains very little fat compared to actual chocolate, yet it’s very high in heart-healthy flavanol antioxidants.
Step 2:
Saturated fat is also considerably lower in this dessert recipe, since canola oil and 1% milk serve as smart substitutes for butter and heavy cream. Serve with fresh raspberries or cherries for some color and a nutrient boost.
Step 3:
Cooking Steps: 1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Coat an 8-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. 2. Combine 3/4 cup sugar, flour, 1/4 cup cocoa, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. 3. With a fork or wooden spoon, stir in milk, oil, egg yolk and vanilla; beat until smooth. Lightly stir in chocolate chips. 4. Pour batter into prepared dish. 5. Stir together remaining 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar and remaining 1/4 cup cocoa. Sprinkle over batter in dish. 6. Pour boiling water over top; do not stir. 7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or just until center is almost set. To test, insert a toothpick in the center; slight sticky crumbs will remain on toothpick when cake is ready. 8. Cool. Spoon into dishes (and top with dollop of whipped cream and fruit if desired).
