INSTRUCTIONS
TOPPING This comes from The New Settlement Cookbook, the first real cookbook I ever owned, though that particular book fell apart from all the wonderful use it got...this is my second copy. Two things I really like about this recipe are that I can put it together quickly and "bake" it in the microwave...minutes later, we're happily burning our tongues on it...and how relatively low in fat it is! Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into bowl. Add milk, chocolate, nuts, butter, vanilla, and blend well. Pour mixture into a greased baking dish.*3 Combine sugars, chocolate, salt and vanilla, and spread evenly over first mixture. Pour the boiling water over this but do not stir. Bake in a moderate oven, 350F, for 1 hour, until the cake that rises to the top tests done.*4 There will be a layer of fudge sauce beneath. Can be served warm or cold, with or without cream. *1 I further reduce fat content by substituting 3 T. cocoa powder + 1 t. melted butter or margarine. *2 I omit the nuts...to reduce fat and also because we prefer it without nuts, but if you're so inclined, walnuts work with this. *3 When I cook this in the microwave, I use an 8" square glass or Corningware dish. *4 If using the microwave, allow 8 to 9 minutes on high (750-watt oven, adjust for your own particular nuker), turning quarter way around halfway through the cooking time (or use lazy susan).
