I’ve made this a few times and it always comes out great - the cake rises to the top and the chocolate pudding sinks to the bottom. If you make it in a dish slightly larger than 9 x 9, you get more surface area of chocolatey goodness.
You can add a handful of nuts if nobody in your family has a nut allergy.
The cool thing? No egg required!
