What You'll Need:

• 1 cup flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 square unsweetened chocolate, grated (1 ounce)
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 3 squares (3 ounces) unsweetened chocolate, grated, or 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup boiling water

Step by Step:

Add milk, chocolate, nuts, butter, vanilla, and blend well.

Pour mixture into a greased baking dish.

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, 350 F, for 1 hour, until the cake that rises to the top tests done. There will be a layer of fudge sauce beneath.

Can be served warm or cold, with or without cream.

Notes:

1. You can reduce fat content by substituting 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon melted margarine for the 3 squares of unsweetened chocolate.
2. You can omit the nuts to reduce fat—or if you just prefer it without nuts.
3. This can be cooked in the microwave; 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).
