My son asked for dessert and so I combed through my cookbooks and found this recipe for Hot Fudge Pudding cake from americastestkitchen.com. The concept is simple - bake a fudgy cake with its own fudgy sauce that you spoon over the cake. The technique is a bit unusual (you cover a very thick batter with a thick layer of cocoa and sugar and then pour coffee over it) but the result is delicious.
The Results
The dumplings are a favorite around here. The cake was almost completely eaten up in one sitting.
Ratings

I love dumplings! One of my favorite things to eat when I was in Japan. Where can you get them here, and do they make vegetarian versions? I'd love to get some!
ReplyDeleteThe cake looks to die for - we'll have to try that sometime!
Hi Lorelei, I buy the Ling Ling dumplings at Costco. I seem to recall seeing vegetarian dumplings too but can't say for sure. Happy eating!
