One Pan Chocolate Pudding Cake

• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 1/2 tablespoons baking cocoa, divided
• 1 3/4 cups sugar, divided
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• 1 cup boiling water (water must be boiling hot!)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8x8 pan.
2. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa, 3/4 c sugar.
3. Mix into dry mixture, milk, vanilla, melted margarine and nuts.
4. Pour into prepared pan.
5. Mix 1 c sugar, 3 tbsp cocoa and 1 c boiling water. Pour over the top of the cake.
6. Bake for about 35 minutes. Test for doneness by pressing top of cake with your finger to get a "bounce".
7. Cool completely before cutting.
8. My grandma always served it with a little cream poured over the top or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
