Description:
I decided to re-copy this recipe and post it into my recipe file, which is easier than having to look for the blog that the recipe is in. As you can see from the photo, I don't use a square pan but a rectangular Pyrex dish, so I ignore the 'turn it out' and don't put in nuts. I do like this served warm though.
Ingredients:
1. 1 cup flour
2. 2 teaspoons baking powder
3. ¾ cup sugar
4. ¼ teaspoon salt
5. 2 tablespoons cocoa
6. ½ cup milk
7. 2 tablespoons shortening, melted
8. 1 cup of nuts (I usually omit)
9. 1 cup brown sugar, packed
10. 4 tablespoons cocoa
11. 1 ½ cup hot water
Directions:
Sift first 5 ingredients together. Stir in milk and shortening. Mix until smooth. Then add nuts. Spread in greased 8 X 8 or 9 X 9-inch pan. Sprinkle with combined brown sugar and cocoa. Pour hot water over cake.
Bake at 350ยบ F for 40 minutes or so. Turn out while hot. Serve with whipped cream.
Oh, my, that sounds and looks decadent and delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis looks to yummy for me to make because I would eat it all myself. Thanks for sharing the recipe, will make it next time I have company over.
ReplyDeleteHey, I forgot the last step, which is to pour the hot water over the cake.
ReplyDeleteNow, that'd be certainly worth trying out!
