WARM CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Prepare cake batter as directed on package. Pour into 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
• Beat dry pudding mixes, sugar, milk and water with whisk 2 min.; pour over batter. Place baking dish on baking sheet.
• Bake 55 min. to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center of cake layer comes out clean. Cool 20 min. (Sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.)
• Serve topped with COOL WHIP.

MARTHA'S WARM CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place four 6- to 8-ounce ovenproof bowls on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Place chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally just until melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; mix in 2 tablespoons sugar, then egg yolks and vanilla.
• In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. With mixer running, gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; beat until mixture is stiff and glossy.
• Using a flexible spatula, fold about a third of egg-white mixture into chocolate mixture; gently fold in remaining egg-white mixture just until combined. Divide among bowls. (Puddings can be prepared in advance up to this point; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 1 day.)
• Bake until tops are puffed and cracked but insides are still quite soft (a toothpick inserted in center will come out gooey), 20 to 25 minutes (or 25 to 30 minutes if refrigerated). Serve warm or at room temperature (puddings will sink as they cool), topped with ice cream, if desired.

WARM CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKES WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter four 6-ounce ramekins, then coat lightly with sugar, tapping out excess. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and chocolate. Microwave until melted, about 1 minute; stir until smooth. (Or melt mixture in a heatproof bowl set over, not in, a pan of simmering water.)
• In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, yolks, flour, and salt; add chocolate mixture and whisk to combine. Fill each ramekin three-quarters full with batter; place on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate 15 minutes.
• Bake until center of a cake is soft but not wet when pressed, 27 to 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Serve cakes warm, topped with caramel and whipped cream.

WARM CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray.
• Combine the flour, granulated sugar, the 1/3 cup of cocoa powder, the baking powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and pour in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir just until blended; spoon the batter evenly into the pan.
• Combine the brown sugar and additional 1/4 cup cocoa powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the batter. Gently pour the boiling water in a zigzag fashion over the top; do not stir. Bake until the top of the pudding is set, about 35 minutes. Cool on a rack at least 30 minutes. Cut into 9 squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
• Tip: Serve this fudgy favorite with a scoop of vanilla or coffee fat-free frozen yogurt; 1/2 cup with each serving will increase the points by 2.
