Skillet Fudgy Brownie Pudding

1 . Stage

Preheat oven to 325° and butter an 8" round cake pan or medium heatproof skillet. Place inside a larger pan, such as a 13 1/2"-by-10" roasting pan.

2 . Stage

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cook butter and granulated sugar, stirring frequently, until butter melts and sugar dissolves, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate. Let cool 5 minutes. Whisk in eggs and 2 tablespoons Baileys.

3 . Stage

In a medium bowl, whisk cocoa powder, flour, and salt to combine. Fold dry ingredients into butter mixture, then stir until mixture resembles wet brownie batter.

4 . Stage

Pour batter into prepared pan. Pour hot water into larger pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of smaller pan.

5 . Stage

Bake brownie pudding until a flaky crust forms, resembling the top of a traditional brownie, and the center is slightly underdone and almost jiggly, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly.

6 . Stage

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream and remaining 1 tablespoon Baileys until medium peaks form. Top brownie pudding with whipped cream.
