INGREDIENTS - 2 stk butter 1 1/4 c sugar 1 1/2 c self rising flour 1 tsp vanilla 3/4 c milk FOR THE CHOCOLATE LAYER 1 c sugar 6 Tbsp cocoa powder 2 c boiling water DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 350. In a 9x13 glass baking dish, melt the two sticks of butter in the oven. 2. Meanwhile in a bowl, mix together the 1 1/4 cups of sugar, flour, vanilla and milk. Once the butter is melted pour the batter over the butter, but do not stir. 3. In a separate bowl mix the cocoa and remaining sugar together and sprinkle on top of batter. Do not stir. 4. Pour the 2 cups of boiling water on top of that (don't stir) and bake for 30-45 minutes. I bake mine until I have a nice golden brown crust. In my oven this usually take about 35 minutes. Serve warm. Great with ice cream 5. NOTE: to substitute self rising flour use 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt. |
