Raspberry Chocolate Coffee Pudding Cake Recipe: Serve warm from the baking pan!

INGREDIENTS

Batter:

• 1 cup (250 ml) flour
• 3/4 cup (175 ml) sugar
• 3 tbs (50 ml) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
• 1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) milk
• 3 tbs (50 ml) butter, melted
• 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla

Pudding:

• 3/4 cup (175 ml) sugar
• 2 tbs (30 ml) unsweetened cocoa powder
• Dash of salt
• 1 1/3 cup (300 ml) Raspberry Chocolate coffee, hot

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350°OF (180°C). Have ready an ungreased 8 x 8-inch (20 x 20-cm) pan.
• In a small bowl, mix together flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, 3 tbs cocoa powder, baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt. Then stir in the milk, butter and vanilla. Spread batter evenly into the pan.
• In another small bowl, combine until blended 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder and the dash of salt. Sprinkle evenly over the cake batter.
• Pour the brewed Raspberry Chocolate coffee over the batter. Do not stir.
• Bake 25-30 minutes until the centre is set and firm to the touch. The top of the cake will look crackled. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
• As shown in the picture, you can also spread a couple tablespoons of raspberry jam or sauce on the plate and top the cake with fresh raspberries.
• If you don't drink coffee, you can try using 3 or 4 drops of Raspberry Chocolate MiniSyrup as a substitute. It works just as well!
