Chocolate Pudding Cake

I was having one of those "I need chocolate cake" days when I came across this Chocolate Pudding Cake recipe. As I had the ingredients for the cake, I set about making it immediately. 


The cake is easy to put together - the only slightly more challenging part is to whish the egg whites till stiff and fold it into the chocolate mixture gently. 


The result was a melt-in-the-mouth chocolate pudding that shooed away the afternoon blues!



Chocolate Pudding Cake (Serves 8)
Recipe by Martha Stewart

Ingredients
  • Butter, room temperature, for baking dish
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for baking dish
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature, separated
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Method
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C), and set a kettle of water to boil. Butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish; coat with granulated sugar, tapping out excess. (I baked mine in ramekins)
  • In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks with granulated sugar until lightened in color. Whisk in melted chocolate; set aside.
  • In a large, clean bowl, using an electric mixer on high, beat egg whites with salt until soft peaks form. Whisk 1/3 of whites into chocolate mixture. Add remaining whites, and gently fold with a rubber spatula just until combined (do not overmix).
  • Transfer batter to prepared baking dish. Set dish in a roasting pan, and pour enough boiling water into pan to come about 1 inch up side of dish. Bake until puffed and just set (center of cake should barely move when jiggled), 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes; dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

  1. Hi Mich!
    If there is a weakness that I have when it comes to all things chocolate, it is definitely chocolate pudding. I LOVE the stuff!!! I mean I really love it, lol...I can't even imagine an entire chocolate pudding cake. Oh my goodness. It looks heavenly! Whisking the egg whites would seem oh so easy as compared to stopping myself from eating the entire cake! (I can down a chocolate pudding pie in one sitting:) Thank you so much for sharing, Mich...
