Chocolate Pudding Cake

now this one i had to make twice before i got it right...and of course its worth the effort...do you even have to ask??

ok here's what you need...


1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla


and this is what you have to do...


Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, oil, and vanilla; stir well. Spoon batter into an 8-inch square greased pan (now mind it...your pan has to be deep enough...)

Mix an additional 1/3 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cocoa. Sprinkle over batter in pan. Pour one cup boiling water over the contents of the pan. Don’t stir it!

Bake at 350-degrees for 25-30 minutes (now for technologically challenged like me...and for sould who dont have an oven and use a microwave...preheat your oven at 180 degrees...and then you can bake for 20 minutes at 250 degrees...not as good as an oven...but pretty decent). As the cake bakes, it forms two layers, one layer of sweet, moist cake and another layer of rich pudding. As if that’s not awesome enough, stick a dollop of whipped cream on top. Or, you know, two...
