Howdy frugal folks.
Ive been stalking this thread for a while now and this weekend my mom dug an old recipe out of her stash that was so simple and so good that I figured i could share with the rest of yas.
this is either called
Better Than Sex Cake
or
Fudge Pudding Cake
it is reminiscent of a lava cake...
really easy, cheap, and flippin tasty!
i found this same recipe on cooks.com
□
1 cup all purpose flour
□
3/4 cup sugar
□
2 tbsp. cocoa
□
2 tsp. baking powder
□
1/4 tsp. salt
□
1/2 cup milk
□
2 tbsp. shortening, melted*
□
1 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)
□
1 cup brown sugar, packed
□
1/4 cup cocoa
□
1 3/4 cups hot water
In a mixing bowl, measure flour, sugar, 2 tbsp. cocoa, baking powder and salt. Blend in milk and shortening; stir in nuts.
Pour into an ungreased 9x9x2-inch square baking pan.
Stir together brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa; sprinkle over batter. Pour hot water over the batter. Do not stir!
Bake@350degrees for 30-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of cake (not the pudding) comes out clean.
i used self rising flour and instead of the crisco i used salted butter... i also decided on dark brown sugar... it was yum but i think next time i will use light brown...
the cake acts like a cobbler so the puddin goes to the bottom... its a spoon cake... wow... with some vanilla bean icecream... holy shit it was good.
try it
