Love this dessert, there are several variations for it but chocolate is our favorite, Mom always called it Poor Man's Pudding.

I found this recipe over 50 years ago. This has been a family favorite in my family for 4 generations now!! It just can't be beat.

Thank you!!

Been making this for years! It is so simple but can be served as an elegant dessert. It's a great experiment for kids, too, b/c the pudding ends up on the bottom! Yum! Now I want to make some!

Does anybody know how to do this making it a hot Lemon Cake?

I've been making this cake for many year. Is sooo good and easy to make. There is also a slow cooker recipe that is very good and easy to make.

So glad I stumbled upon this recipe. Haven't tried it but the comments made my mouth water!!! Sooooooo gonna make this tomorrow. Need to purchase some ingredients first.

I have been making this cake for years. I make it with butter, increase the cocoa to 1/4 cup for the batter, add a dash of cayenne to the cake batter to enhance the chocolate and add 1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts. I pour hot coffee rather than just water over the top. A little more grown-up version of a family favorite.

One of my absolute favorite recipes! I find myself craving this every winter. I've also made a spice cake variation by adding cinnamon & nutmeg and leaving out the cocoa. Dot a little butter on top and increase the brown sugar. Caramel Spice pudding.

OMG my Hubby loves chocolate, then was a huge hit, thank you so much, will make at our next gathering, THE BEST CHOCOLATE he ever had!!! YUMMY

I'm a big fan of hot fudge pudding cake, even though I call it "brownie pudding". This is a great recipe, and easy too! I saw that it had what seemed like a fair amount of sugar, so I used unsweetened cocoa. Made a very decent, sweet pudding cake if you don't like desserts that are TOO sweet. I'm not one of those people, I like very sweet, so next time I'll use sweetened cocoa.

This pudding cake can be reheated in the microwave the next day, taking care not to overheat it if you don't like melted whipped cream or ice cream. Very good at room temperature too.

About the nuts: this was the first time I had used nuts in this dessert, and I used 1 cup of walnuts, my favorite nut. I thought 1 cup of walnut pieces was too much, so next time I'll use about half that amount, and toast the nuts in a dry skillet first.

Just tried this for the first time. My husband loved it and directed me to write a review. I don't get that kind of response very often! Good stuff.

My mom used to make this when I was growing up. She'd mix it right in the baking dish. Yummm!

My mom made this and she also made one with spice cake and pecans and added the syrup mixture on top of the batter. Both are yummy!!

This is such a fun recipe. And it so easy my kids love to make it after school. I'm so happy I found this. Thank you!!!

Have made this for years - yummy!!!
