20 minutes

Total Time

1 hour

Ingredients

  • 1/2cup whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 1/2cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3cup sugar
  • 1/4cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1 1/2teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2teaspoon salt
  • 1large egg
  • 1/2cup lowfat milk
  • 2tablespoons canola oil
  • 2teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 1/3cups hot brewed coffee
  • 3/5cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4cup chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted
  • Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 1½- to 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg, milk, oil and vanilla in a glass measuring cup. Add to the flour mixture; stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips, if using. Scrape the batter into the prepared baking dish. Mix hot coffee and brown sugar in the measuring cup and pour over the batter. Sprinkle with nuts. (It may look strange at this point, but don't worry. During baking, cake forms on top with sauce underneath.)
  2. Bake the pudding cake until the top springs back when touched lightly, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for at least 10 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve hot or warm

Tips

Tip: Whole-wheat pastry flour, lower in protein than regular whole-wheat flour, has less gluten-forming potential, making it a better choice for tender baked goods. Store in the freezer.
