Rich Chocolate Rum Pudding Cake Recipe
Let's give that chocolate rum pudding cake a vegan twist, shall we? I nabbed this recipe from a book of one-bowl desserts and decided to make it plant-based. Fear not, the rum flavor isn't overpowering – it just adds a little somethin' somethin'. You can serve it warm, with the pudding layer oozing like a dream, or chilled, with the pudding layer nice and thick on top. It's an easy peasy recipe that'll make people think it took more effort than it really did.
- Servings: 8 to 10
Ingredients:- 1 cup all-purpose flour- 2 teaspoons baking powder- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda- 1/4 teaspoon salt- 3/4 cup sugar (divided into 1/2 cup and 1/4 cup)- 1/2 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder (divided into 1/4 cup and 1/4 cup)- 1/2 cup vegan milk- 1/4 cup canola oil- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract- 1 teaspoon rum extract (but you can skip this or replace it with 1 more teaspoon of vanilla if you don't have rum)- 1/2 cup boiling water- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup- 1/4 cup light rum (make it vegan by using a plant-based rum - like Wicked Dolphin or Kraken)
Instructions:1. Fill a kettle with water, heat your oven to 350°F, and grease a 9-inch springform round cake pan.2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and 1/4 cup of the cocoa. Add the vegan milk, oil, and extracts, and mix it to a thick batter.3. Plunk the batter into the cake pan, sprinkle the top with the remaining cocoa (1/4 cup) and sugar (1/4 cup).4. Pour the boiling water into a glass measuring cup, add the maple syrup and rum to the water, and pour this mixture on top of the cake batter.5. Stick the cake on a cookie sheet (just in case of pudding overflow) and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Let it cool a tad; while the cake is still warm, place it on a large plate (make sure your plate has a slight edge to prevent spillage).6. If you fancy, add a scoop of vanilla vegan ice cream on top, and voila! One flamin' impressive dessert.
