What makes this a 'pudding cake'?

This recipe features a distinct liquid pudding mixture poured over the cake batter before baking, which transforms into a warm, gooey sauce beneath the cake layer as it cooks.

How do I know when the Chocolate Pudding Cake is fully baked?

Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top of the cake looks set and the pudding layer underneath is visibly bubbly.

What kind of pan should I use for this cake?

You'll need a round cake pan that is at least 2 inches deep, lightly greased, to accommodate both the cake and pudding layers.

Can I add espresso to the cake layer?

Yes, the recipe suggests adding espresso powder with the dry ingredients if you are using it, which will enhance the chocolate flavor.

How should I store leftover Chocolate Pudding Cake?

Leftovers can be stored at room temperature. The pudding layer will thicken as it cools, so briefly microwave individual servings before enjoying again to restore its gooey texture.
