A gooey rich dessert, this Chocolate Pudding Cake has a cake top with a gooey pudding like center. An easy dessert, and one that everyone will fall in love with.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch baking dish with baking spray, set aside.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the buttermilk, oil, and vanilla, stir together until combined with no dry patches.
Add the batter to the baking dish and smooth it out in the bottom of the dish.
In a separate bowl make the sauce by stirring together the sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips. Sprinkle this mixture over the batter.
Pour the boiling water over the top, do not mix it in. Bake for 28-32 minutes until the top looks set and cracked and the sides and starting to pull away from the dish.
Let the cake cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before serving.
