Gooey Mocha Pudding Cake

While I was reading last month's Glamour magazine, I came across a recipe that I wanted to try so I ripped it out of the mag. A few hours later, upon seeing it on my bedroom floor, I realized that I'm doing this blog on chocolate and decided to share this delicious looking recipe by a judge from Top Chef, and former Queer Eye for the Straight Guy Fab Five member, Ted Allen. Here it is, ENJOY!:
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup flour
7 tbsp. powdered cocoa
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 cups hot coffee (he uses Godiva chocolate creme coffee but insists that any brand will do)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar;flour;3 tbsp. cocoa, baking powder and salt. Blend in milk, butter and vanilla and beat until smooth. Pour the batter into a 9-inch square pan. In small bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar; 4 tbsp. cocoa and brown sugar; sprinkle over batter. Pour coffee over top. DO NOT STIR. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until center is set. Let cool. Serves 9.
