Chocolate pudding cake is a very unusual dessert where you bake chocolate cake as well as pudding together and then eat these in a bowl only and is thus perfectly called Chocolate Self-saucing pudding.
The beauty of this pudding is that the cake will rise to the top and the custard sauce will be at the bottom.
Long back, I read this recipe of chocolate self-saucing pudding in a very famous cooking magazine.
Found the name itself really interesting but was confused as to how a part of it would become a cake and the other part would be sauce.....which means both cake and sauce together at one go and in one recipe only.
Though I was very sceptical of the outcome but it appealed to me so much that I couldn't resist trying it.
And yes....you guessed it right. The results were awesome. Liked by everybody. Especially kids went crazy. Since then I have made it so many times and every time a big hit. It is a no-fail recipe. The only time it didn't come out good was when I didn't have all the ingredients plus used my estimation of the remaining ones.
So an important lesson learnt that day. Always follow the recipe for baking cakes.
Serve it with vanilla ice cream and see the magic...
