Coffee naturally enhances the flavor of chocolate, but even more adds a mocha-flavor that’s hard to pass up. Brew some extra coffee one morning so you have an excuse to make an easy weeknight dessert.

Serves: 9 servings
Ingredients
Cake Batter
- ½ cup unrefined cane sugar (such as Sucanat or coconut sugar)
- ½ cup sorghum flour
- ¼ cup teff flour
- ¼ cup tapioca starch
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup unsweetened dairy-free milk (such as So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk Beverage or Cashew Milk), room temperature
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pudding Mixture
- ½ cup unrefined cane sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- 1½ cup brewed coffee
Instructions
- Position an oven rack to the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly oil a glass 8-inch square baking dish.
- To make the cake batter, put the sugar, sorghum flour, teff flour, tapioca flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk until combined.
- Put the milk, oil, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Mix well.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the milk mixture into the well and stir until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. The mixture will be very thick.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared dish.
- To make the pudding mixture, put the sugar and cocoa powder into a small bowl. Whisk until combined. Sprinkle the cocoa-sugar over the cake batter.
- Put the coffee in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Slowly pour it overtop of the cake batter. Do not stir.
- Bake on the middle rack for 30 to 35 minutes until the top of the cake is dry and firm. Don’t overbake—if you do, the bottom won’t be pudding.
- Let cool 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
