Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Hot Fudge Sauce
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ cup hot water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, milk, cocoa, oil, baking powder, vanilla and salt. Batter will be very thick -- don't fear. You might need to stir with a metal spoon.
- Spread batter into a greased 9" pie plate or square pan (*Note: make sure your pan has tall sides, otherwise your cake might run over a bit.)
Hot Fudge Sauce
- Combine brown sugar and ¼ cup cocoa. Spread over batter.
- Top with hot water. Bake for about 30-35 minutes until top is dry and puffed. (*Note: put a cookie sheet underneath your pan in the oven, just in case a little spills over).
- Serve warm with ice cream.

Notes
*You can easily substitute the flour for 100% whole wheat and no one will know!
