I've been making this recipe for many years. With a fudgy, brownie-cake and rich chocolaty pudding, it's a go-to favorite when I want something chocolate and decadent. It's very easy to make, with ingredients I always have on hand. My husband asks for it often, and it always gets rave reviews :) In my personal recipe rating...

Steps:
- 1. Put water on to boil. Melt chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl. Set aside.
- 2. In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly combine flour baking powder and the half tsp of salt, using a wire whisk. Set aside.
- 3. Using a mixer, cream together the softened butter and 2/3 c. sugar.
- 4. Beat in the flour mixture, with milk enough to blend.
- 5. Stir in the melted chocolate, vanilla, and nuts, if desired. (We like our chocolate straight-up, so I never add nuts.)
- 6. Spread the batter into a 8 or 9" square baking dish. Set aside.
- 7. In a small mixing bowl thoroughly combine brown sugar, 1/2 c. sugar, cocoa, and 1/4 t. salt with a fork. Sprinkle this over the batter. Do not stir.
- 8. Gently pour the boiling water over the top. Do not stir.
- 9. Bake 1 hour at 350* Cool slightly, serve warm.
- 10. NOTES: If you want to dress it up for company, garnish with whipped cream or ice cream, and chocolate curls or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. This recipe reheats well. *By substituting gluten-free all purpose flour, this recipe is easily made gluten free. (Try Bob's Red Mill brand for the cake batter, and Gifts of Nature brand for the pudding.)
