Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons espresso powder
• 1.5 cups hot water
• 0.5 cup walnuts (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined and a thick batter forms.

Step 4

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, mix the light brown sugar and espresso powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.

Step 6

Pour the hot water evenly over the entire surface of the batter. Do not stir; the water will create a pudding sauce as the cake bakes.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top for a crunchy texture.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still a bit wobbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. The pudding layer will thicken as it sits.

Step 10

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
