Description

Ingredients

• 1¾ cups flour
• 1¾ cups sugar
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅔ cup sugar
• ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• pinch of salt
• 2¼ cups milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ⅓ cup milk
• ⅓ cup butter, softened
• 1¼ cups sugar
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease & flour a 9x13 inch pan.
• Combine milk & lemon juice and set aside. (The mixture will thicken slightly)
• Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda & baking powder in a large bowl.
• Add eggs, coffee, soured milk, oil and vanilla. Beat medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pans. (Your batter may seem runny at this point but it will bake up beautifully.)
• Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Be sure to check the cake at 30 minutes so it doesnt over cook.
• In a saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt, mix well. Add in cold milk, stir until combined.
• Turn heat to medium high stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil.
• Allow to boil for 1 minute while stirring, remove from heat and stir in butter.
• Allow to cool for 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Poke the cake all over with the end of a wooden spoon. Pour warm pudding over warm cake. Tap the pan allowing the pudding to seep into the cake. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. (Frost after slightly cooled, about 30 minutes)
• In a saucepan, combine milk, butter, & sugar over medium high heat. Bring to a rolling boil and allow to boil 45 seconds. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Whisk until smooth and shiny and immediately pour over the cake. Refrigerate until set.
