List of Ingredients




1 cup flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1¼ cups plus 2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup plus ½ cup cocoa powder, preferably a high-quality brand, such as Valrhona
1 egg
6 tablespoons melted butter, plus 4 tablespoons (½ stick) at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup cream


Recipe



1 Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2 Put the flour, ¼ teaspoon of the salt, the baking powder, 1¼ cups of the sugar, and 1/3 cup of the cocoa powder in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk to combine and to remove any cocoa lumps. Beat the egg lightly in a small bowl. Add the melted butter to the egg and whisk briefly to combine. Add the egg mixture, 1 teaspoon of the vanilla, and 1 cup warm water to the dry ingredients. Blend well.

3 Pour the batter into a soufflé dish, preferably a round one, with a 5-cup capacity. Tent the soufflé dish with aluminum foil. Place a larger baking dish into the center of the oven and place the soufflé dish into the middle of the dish. Pour hot water halfway up the sides of the soufflé dish. (The water need not be painfully hot; tap water is fine.) Steam for 1 hour in the oven.

4 While the pudding steams, make the sauce: Place the remaining 2/3 cup sugar and ½ cup cocoa powder in a medium saucepan and whisk to combine. Add the cream and the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and 1?4 teaspoon salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla with 3 tablespoons water. Set aside, covered, and keep warm until the pudding is done.

5 Remove the dish from the oven. Carefully peel back the tented foil and test for doneness by touching the pudding lightly; it should spring back. Pour half of the warm fudge sauce over the hot pudding. Reserve the other half. If the sauce has cooled by serving time, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water before reheating.

6 To serve, let the pudding cool slightly and slice or spoon into four dishes. Serve with the warm sauce alongside.
