Very rich...for me, this is for when I am really craving chocolate. This is modified from a Hershey's cookbook.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ c sugar, divided
- 1 c all-purpose flour
- 7 tbsp cocoa, divided
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ c soy milk
- 1/3 c margarine (softened or melted)
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ c brown sugar, packed
- 1 ¼ c hot water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In medium mixing bowl, combine ¾ C sugar, flour, 3 T cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
Blend in the milk, vanilla, and margarine; beat until smooth.
Spread batter into a square pan 8X8X2 or 9X9X2. This cake does not rise, but it bubbles, so be sure your pan height is tall enough or you will have chocolate burning all over your oven.
In a separate small bowl, mix remaining ½ C sugar, brown sugar, and remaining 4 T cocoa; sprinkle mixure evenly over batter.
Pour hot water over the top; do not stir.
Bake for 40 minutes or until center is almost set. (It will look kind of like a cobbler.)
Let stand 15 minutes; spoon into bowls, spooning sauce from bottom of pan over the top.
