Hot Fudge Pudding Cake

Hot Fudge Pudding Cake

My "magic" recipe because the pudding just appears from nothing!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl mix: (a wire whip works well for this)

1 C Flour
3/4 C Sugar
2 T Cocoa
2 t Baking Powder
1/4 t Salt

Stir in:

1/2 C Milk
2 T Melted Shortening (I've never tried it, but I don't see why butter wouldn't work.)
1 C chopped nuts (optional)

Pour batter into an ungreased baking pan (9" square).

Stir together: (a wire whip works well for this, too)

1 C Brown Sugar (packed)
1/4 C Cocoa

Sprinkle over batter in pan.
Pour 1 3/4 C hot water over it all.

Bake 45 minutes.

Serve with vanilla ice cream. (You could use other kinds, but vanilla keeps the pure, chocolate taste!)
