Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 14 cups sugar
  • 1 12 cups self-rising flour (or use all purpose flour, adding 2 tsp. baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 34 cup milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 cups water, boiling

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a 9x13 glass baking dish, melt the two sticks of butter in the oven.
  • Meanwhile in a bowl, mix together the 1 1/4 cups of sugar, flour, vanilla and milk.
  • Once the butter is melted pour the batter over the butter, but do not stir.
  • In a separate bowl mix the cocoa and remaining sugar together and sprinkle on top of batter.
  • Do not stir.
  • Pour the 2 cups of boiling water on top of that (don't stir) and bake for 30-45 minutes.
  • I bake mine until I have a nice golden brown crust.
  • In my oven this usually takes about 35 minutes.
  • Serve warm.
  • Great with vanilla ice cream!
