This is identical to the Denver Chocolate Pudding on page 365 of the eleventh edition of The Fannie Farmer Cookbook, except FF says to cook it for 40 minutes, not 45.<br/><br/>That said, Denver pudding is one of the greatest desserts ever devised. It was my father's favorite to make, and our favorite to eat!

This is INCREDIBLE!!! I have made it 2 times now in the past 3 days. I found the recipe in a small, local NC cookbook & had to try since it looked so unusual. Only difference is we use 1 square of unsweetened chocolate instead of 3 TBS of cocoa in the batter but still do the 4 TBS of cocoa on top - the texture & the sauce are unbelievable - like a Moltan Lava Cake or something. Thanks for posting!
