Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/4 cup generous all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

  • Fill bottom of double boiler with enough water to fill about 3-4 inches high. In a seperate saucepan, bring another 2 cups of water to boil.
  • Combine all dry ingredients in top of double boiler, stirring well to remove any lumps. Add enough boiling water to make a thick paste. Stir until smooth.
  • Place onto the bottom half, over the boiling water. Slowly add 1 1/2 cups boiling water from the other pan. Keep stirring until the water is fully incorporated.
  • Add the butter, continue to stir while the butter melts into the sauce. Keep stirring another 10-15 minutes, until the sauce thickens to an "unset pudding" consistency. If it thickens too much, feel free to add more boiling water.
  • When it is as thick as you like, stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Serve over the sliced pound cake.
