Chocolate Pudding Cake

This time it's not me who baked this cake, but my sis :)
Lately she's inspired to bake quite a number of cakes by Martha Stewart
It's apparently too irresistable to ignore those yummy pictures displayed in her IPad apps
This was actually not the first, but second bake she did, the first one was brownies which I simply forgot to take a snap of. By the time I remembered, it's gone LOL

This chocolate pudding cake looked just like a piece of brownie isn't it?
But once you sink your teeth on it, you'll know that it's not
It's so very rich, moist, fudgy, deep dark intense kind of chocolate cake, thanks to the fudgy batter mixed together with the cake batter

Very easy to prepare, no mixer required -> her favorite (mine too, actually LOL)

It's not easy actually to get a nicely cut piece like the two pieces in the pic below, cos this cake is supposed to scoop to eat, ideally with vanilla ice cream, but I was too freaked out with the calories that I skipped the ice cream :)

Somehow I couldn't find the recipe in Martha's website, it's only available in her IPad app
Here it is...

What you need:

For the cake:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder

1 cup sugar
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melt and cool
3/4 cup fresh milk
2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cocoa powder
1 1/2 cup boiling water

20cm round baking dish, greased lightly

To prepare the cake batter:

2. Add in milk and vanilla, stir til just combined
3. Fold in dry ingredients til well combined

To prepare the fudge batter:
