    1 Cup Flour, 2 Tsp Baking Powder, ½ Tsp Salt, ¼ Tsp Espresso Powder, ½ Cup Cocoa Powder, ¾ Cup White Sugar

    ¼ Cup White Sugar, ¼ Cup Brown Sugar
  • Pour the hot water gently over the top of the batter and dry mix. Don't stir or mix this up, it's supposed to be separate like this.
    1¼ Cup Hot Water
  • Bake your mix for 40 minutes. It will still look half underdone, but that's just the pudding. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes so the pudding has time to set. Top with ice cream, whipped cream, or other toppings, and enjoy!
