Chocolate Pudding Cake is basically like a cobbler and can be served warm or cold. I like it best warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream — it tastes a lot like hot fudge cake!

I might have eaten dessert first for dinner tonight, and it just might have been this gooey Chocolate Pudding Cake. It is #chocotoberfest after all!

Chocolate Pudding Cake

What I love about this Chocolate Pudding Cake is that it doesn’t require any special ingredients or extra trips to the grocery store, and as it bakes it creates a gooey chocolate topping (in the bottom of the pan). You don’t even need a mixer for this cake. It comes together in just three simple steps.
