So, here I am finally, posting on the Blockladies blog. Yay! (Thanks to Miriam and Corey who have spent much time helping me get to this point!)
I wanted to share this chocolate cake recipe with you ladies; we had it when Duke and Cor were here recently and they loved it. It's low fat, in case anybody's interested in such things. Here goes:
3/4 C flour
3/4 C white sugar
1/3 C and 1/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp instant coffee granules or powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 C low fat milk
1 tbsp melted butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 2/3 C boiling water

oven: 350; nine inch square baking pan; spray with non-stick spray.

Combine all dry ingredients. Combine milk, vanilla and butter; pour into dry mix. Stir until just blended, pour into baking pan. May be thick and lumpy; that's okay.
Combine brown sugar and 1/4 C cocoa and sprinkle over batter; gently pour boiling water in a zig-zag pattern over top; do not stir. Bake about 35 minutes. Top will be cake; bottom like pudding. Great with whipped cream or ice cream. Enjoy!
