Chocolate Cinnamon Pudding Cake

[femkes_follies]

For those who were interested:

1 c. unbleached AP flour
3/4 c. toasted wheat germ
3/4 c. vanilla sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2/3 c. milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c. light brown sugar
1/2 c. natural cocoa
1/2 tsp cinnamon (or up to a full tsp if the grocery store variety - mine is pretty potent)
"knife tip" of cayenne pepper - just a pinch, but use a utensil!
2 c. hot water.

Mix flour, wheat germ, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in milk, butter, and vanilla extract. Pour this batter into a 9" square pan. In another bowl, combine brown sugar, cocoa, cinnamon, and cayenne. Mix lightly, then pour evenly over batter. Pour hot water over the top, and bake at 350 deg F for 45 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Ohh, looks like how chocolate is supposed to taste, well... I like it spicy and a little hot anyway :)

And there's wheat germ, so it's healthy! ;-)

Heh. Actually, I've tried replacing the germ with flour, and I don't like it as well. The texture and nutty flavor keep it from becoming mush.

YUM! Thanks. :)

Not sure if it's appropriate for you dietary needs. Though I do use it to get extra fiber/wheat germ into my girls. ;-)
