Mix together flour, sugar, 2 TBLS cocoa, baking powder and salt. Blend in milk and melted
shortening or butter. Stir in nuts. Pour into ungreased pan.
Stir together brown sugar and 1/4 c cocoa, sprinkle over batter.
Pour hot water over batter.
Bake at 350° for
45 minutes.
I love this reciepe, every time you make it, it's like a science experiment.
The hot water blends with the cocoa and brown sugar to make pudding, and as it bakes, the batter rises, and swallows the pudding.
So the pudding ends up on the bottom, and the cake on top.
This is also good cold, for breakfast ... LOL
