Recipe

Hot Fudge Pudding Cake

Serving Size: 9
Preparation Time:0:11

1        cup     all-purpose flour
1/2    cup     sugar
2       tablespoons     unsweetened cocoa
1        teaspoon        baking powder
1/4    teaspoon        salt
1/2    cup     skim milk
1        tablespoon      vegetable oil
1        teaspoon        vanilla extract
1/3    cup     sugar
2       tablespoons     unsweetened cocoa
1/8    teaspoon        salt
1        cup     boiling water
4       cups    vanilla ice milk

Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl, and stir well.

Combine skim milk, oil, and vanilla; add to dry ingredients, and stir well. Spoon batter into a 9-inch square baking pan.

Combine 1/3 cup sugar and next 2 ingredients. Sprinkle over batter.

Pour 1-1/2 cups boiling water over batter. (Do not stir).

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched in center. Yield: 9 servings (serving size: 1 [3 x 3-inch] piece and 1/2 cup ice milk).

Notes: It may taste like you're splurging, but this cocoa-laced pudding cake is really a heart-healthy treat, says registered dietitian Susan Hagins White, of Surfside Beach, South Carolina.

Serving Ideas: Serve topped with ice milk.
