CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• 2 t. baking powder
• 1/2 t. salt
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 square unsweetened chocolate, grated
  (1 ounce)*
  
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts**
• 2 T. melted butter
• 1 t. vanilla extract

Procedure:

Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into
bowl. Add milk, chocolate, nuts, butter, vanilla,
and blend well. Pour mixture into a greased
baking dish.***

Topping:

• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 3 squares (3 ounces) unsweetened chocolate,
  grated, or 3 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
  
• 1/4 t. salt
• 1 t. vanilla
• 1 cup boiling water

Combine sugars, chocolate, salt and vanilla,
and spread evenly over first mixture. Pour the
boiling water over this but do not stir. Bake
in a moderate oven, 350F, for 1 hour, until the
cake that rises to the top tests done.****

There will be a layer of fudge sauce beneath.
Can be served warm or cold, with or without
cream.

* I further reduce fat content by substituting
3 T. cocoa powder + 1 t. melted butter or
margarine.

** I omit the nuts...to reduce fat and also
because we prefer it without nuts, but if
you're so inclined, walnuts work with this.

*** When I cook this in the microwave, I use
an 8" square glass or Corningware dish.

**** If using the microwave, allow 8 to 9
minutes on high (750-watt oven, adjust for
your own particular nuker), turning quarter
way around halfway through the cooking time
(or use lazy susan).
