The chocolate pudding cake I made a few days ago for the kids’ snack really surprised everyone. They wanted a chocolate cake and I had homemade chocolate pudding in the fridge from the day before, so I thought to add it to the batter. The result? A truly indulgent snack cake, soft and creamy, to be eaten with a spoon and very chocolatey. Try it and you’ll see how much everyone will love it.

Ingredients for the chocolate pudding cake
- 5/8 cup chocolate pudding
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsp cornstarch (maizena)
- 1 packet baking powder
- to taste dark chocolate (grated)
Preparation: chocolate pudding cake
To prepare the chocolate pudding cake, first make the chocolate pudding following my recipe HERE and let it cool.
Now beat the eggs with the sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is frothy and almost white.
Sift the flour together with the cornstarch and the baking powder.Melt the butter in a double boiler, then begin adding the sifted dry ingredients and the butter in several additions while continuing to beat with the mixer.
Meanwhile preheat the oven to 356°F and fold the now-cooled pudding into the batter for the chocolate pudding cake using a rubber spatula with gentle upward motions.
Now butter and flour a 9.5-inch pan then pour in the batter for the chocolate pudding cake and bake on the middle rack for at least 40 minutes.
The cake will not be dry like a normal cake but rather moist like a dense pudding that you can still eat with a spoon, while keeping the ingredients of a cake. Once the baking time is up, remove from the oven.
Grate some dark chocolate over the surface — the heat from the cake will melt it — and let it cool in the pan.Once cool you can unmold it, dust with powdered sugar which will be absorbed by the cake’s moisture and..
ENJOY
