This comes from The New Settlement Cookbook, the first real cookbook I everowned, though that particular book fell apart from all the wonderful use it got...this is my second copy. Two things I really like about this recipe
are that I can put it together quickly and "bake" it in the microwave...minutes later, we're happily burning our tongues on it...and how relatively low in fat it is!

Chocolate Pudding Cake

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

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).
