I must admit, it felt a little weird to pour coffee onto the batter. But the results were wonderful - indeed a "pudding cake," like a very gooey brownie. Be prepared to eat it with a spoon rather than a fork!
We call this “science experiment” cake because “magic” cake would be too much, but it really is magic. Kids love this process, and the outcome
We call this self saucing chocolate pudding in New Zealand where it is a classic homely dessert
