Very good. I have made a similar recipe before, and this is just as good. Lots of yummy fudge sauce on the bottom. Don't make the same mistake I did... I only had an 8" pan, and it overflowed in my oven!
Read MoreGood chocolate flavor. However, it was way too sweet and had too much chocolate "sauce." Next time I make it, and I plan to try it again, I will cut back on the sugar mixture that is sprinkled on top and use less water. It was a lot for a 9x9 pan. I placed it on a baking sheet, because my pan was so full, I thought it might overflow. It rose just to the edge of the pan. I would recommend serving this with homemade whipped cream (1 c. heavy whipping cream, 1 T. sugar and 1 t. vanilla whipped on high until soft peaks form) or vanilla ice cream.

This recipe is taste nice especially the liquid chocolate but the only thing that made me rate it 4 is because it too sweet. The sugar should be cut into 1/2 of the recipe.
Yummy! I'm a chocolate fiend so I increased the cocoa to 1/3c for the cake and the sauce. There's no such thing as too much chocolate! I also added half a cup of chopped walnuts and substituted 1/3c of whisky for part of the water for the sauce. Mmmm... chocolate and whisky....
OMG this cake was AMAZING. I did use freshly brewed coffee instead of water and added a dash of cayenne to bring out the chocolate. My children are the pickiest eaters on the planet. They cleaned their plates without complaint to get some of this cake. My husband was in heaven. I will definately make this again!
YUMMY!! On the advise of some of the posts I cut the sugar by just about half. I am glad I did as I found the dessert sweet enough with half the sugar. Very moist and lots of molten chocolate!!
The Hot Fudge Pudding Cake II recipe was okay. I cooked mine a bit too long. Next time I'll keep a closer eye on them. I made cupcakes instead of one cake. I didn't use all of the batter so I'll give these another try.
I made this for my husband for a Father's Day dessert. It was incredible and reminded us of a restaurant "lava cake". Thanks, this one will be made again and again.
I added grilled banana's and fresh strawberry sauce to make it a "banana split" pudding cake. Spoon this over vanilla icecream if you want to totally blow the diet! So incredible, tastes like summer all year long!!! Plus, the kids get fresh fruit and less cake this way!

The only reason this is getting a four is because the pudding part wasn't exactly what I was expecting (perhaps not as "lava cake" fudgey in texture as I was hoping). It was still extremely delicious and I'm having a very difficult time staying away from it. I still will be making this again! Yummy!!!
This was the first pudding cake I have ever made. It was easy and tastes great!
This was ok but you have to really LOVE chocolate, I let my 2 year old have a very small piece I didnt want him bouncing of the walls all night long!
My hubby and 3 children loved this one it is a keeper.
I thought this cake had a nice chocolatey flavour, but it was quite sweet.
This had a wonderful rich chocolate flavor but somehow mine didn't turn out at all. This was really sweet too, way too sweet for me and I have a huge sweetooth. It seemed like lot of water to pour over, but I did as directed. When I served this up it had a cake layer on the bottom, a huge liquid layer in the middle, I mean really liquid not gelled like pudding or "sauce" as is usual with this type cake, and then the top layer was a really thin crust. Mine was nowhere close to looking set at 45 minutes as the liquid layer was really sloshy and you could see it jiggle under the crust top layer. Easy cake to make and it's one of my favorites, but for some reason I did not have success with this recipe. I sprayed the pan with nonstick spray only because it's habit and it didn't specify whether to do so or not.
My grandma used to make a cake similiar to this for my mom on her birthdays, but no one in my family had the recipe for it. Anyway, this cake was very yummy, and it satisfied my mom's nostalgic birthday needs. It was very easy to make too. THANKS!
first off I forgot to add the extra (what was left over white sugar)but I added the 3/4C brown sugar for the hot fudge part and it was great with just that! I think adding that extra would have been over the top crazy sweet!!! Great recipe, I got worried it would run over my pan, so next time I'll try 2t baking powder!
Easy to make with an excellent chocolate taste that's not overly sweet. In order to make this a dessert similar to a favorite hot fudge sundae of ours, I topped with vanilla ice cream and peanuts.
I love this recipe! It's a great backup dessert that doesn't require a bunch of odd ingredients
I did not like this at all. I threw it away. Yuk!
One time when I went on a cruise i had this cake and fell in love with it when i made it I put it in the fridge that night and i brought it to school the next day my friends attacked!! they said I should open my own reasturant with this cake as my specail you better try it its amazing try it with vinallia ice cream it's the best!!!
This was just okay for us. The recipe is a good one - easy to make, works just as described, ingredients I had on hand. But the end result was just not something to our taste. Those who like very gooey, drippy fudgy desserts would probably love it! Just wasn't right for us.
I made this last night, very easy to make, and my husband and daughters family loved it, I did like the other suggestions and only added 1/2 the sugar, and it was perfect, not to sweet, but sweet enough for the chocolate lover. will make again soon.
According to some of the other reviews of being too sweet, I actually cut back on the white sugar. It turned out too bland. I made it again and added 1 cup of sugar to the cake and the rest to the syrup. Served with ice cream it's a real treat!
it was okay, not great. I used a 8x 11 dish as I did not have a 9x9. It did not spill. You must let it sit for a few minutes the pudding does thicken up nicely. The cake is quite bland. Will try a different recipe next time.
Fantastic! Very rich - exactly the way our family likes it. In the future, I will be increasing particular ingredients to make more fudge.
This recipe is really good, not as sweet as most hot fudge cake recipes!
It was ok, I don't think it had enough chocolate flavor. Was kinda bland in that area. Just not the flavor I was expecting. The sauce was still too runny in my opinion even after 45 minutes baking it.
This recipe has been in my family for years. It's such an easy recipe, and it's great when you don't have much around the house. I've grown up with this cake, and I just love it!
I've made this since I was a kid, and this recipe is perfection. Didn't reduce sugar, as suggested, and though it was super-sweet, I loved it!
Woah! Make this if you are craving gooey chocolate! And be sure to put it in a 9x9 pan! I made the mistake of an 8x8 pan and the water overflowed and made a huge mess. I also added a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in it, which it totally didn't need! Super rich!
Loved it, but I caution everyone to read the directions carefully. I did not and ended up dumping in all the sugar when making the cake! Oh my gosh... it was so sweet! The kids loved it though! LOL I'm sure it would be great if you followed the directions properly!
This is a good recipe, but very sweet. Not a flavorful sweet, but a Sugar sweet. Does that make sense? Not the one I'm looking for. Also...DEFINETLY use a 9x9 pan as stated!! I only had an 8x8 pan and it overflowed and I'm now cleaning my oven! That is my fault...the recipe says to use a 9x9 pan.
It tasted okay but not really the recipe I was looking for. I will keep searching.
Amazing!!! I've never tried anything like it before, its a game changer. However i agree with the others, the amount of sugar needs to be reduced to half, and substituting coffee instead of water
Just by the smell when it comes out of the over you know it will be nothing but comfort!!
This is a quick and easy dessert. Serve with vanilla ice cream. It makes its own hot fudge sauce. Yummy!
Wow, I love this recipe. Super-sweet like many others suggested... just how our family likes it. This simple recipe was great for my 10 year old daughter and I to make together. We followed the recipe exactly, except out of necessity, we replaced the all-purpose wheat flour with Robin Hood Gluten Free Nutri Flour and about 1/2 tsp xanthan gum because we are celiacs. With these substitutions the cake turned out amazing. The pudding was a tad thick (I might try a little more boiling water next time) but rich and creamy. The cake was moist with a delicious crisp, sugary edge, and there was plenty of space in the 9x9 pan. I only reduced the stars from 5 to 4 because I thought it could be a bit chocolaty-er. I might add some additional cocoa next time. What I love about this recipe is the potential for slight variations... like adding boiling coffee instead of boiling water. I loved the idea of making a banana split out of it as another reviewer suggested. Also, I can't wait to try it over vanilla ice cream. I can't imagine anything better.
Very easy and taste fantastic! the hot fudge was bubbling around the cake when 1st taken out. Yummy*
Was easy to make and was super good. Our servings were about 1/2 cup - plenty! - and we garnished with a little whipped cream on top. Very yummy!
Super easy, super yummy! LOVE this cake recipe. An impressive dessert that doesn’t take any special ingredients but tastes amazing! I used an 8” glass pan and it did overflow, other then that, perfect dessert!
Very good. I was worried it wouldn't thicken after it came out of the over but eventually did. I agree with some of the other reveiws that it is too sweet. Even for me and I love rich foods. I would lower the amount of white sugar in the sprinkle mixture next time. Will make again!
