If you like walnuts, you cannot add too many. Sort of like brownies and pudding.

It’s sort of a “no-fail” cake/pudding dessert. I never use oil in baking, I just used melted butter instead. I humbly admit I would double or triple the recipe and use a bigger pan. If you’re going to all the trouble to turn the oven on and make a mess, might as well make a lot of cake. Plus I add at least 1 c. of chopped walnuts.

First recipe

First layer
1 c, flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa
1/2 teaspoon espresso powder (optional, but very good)(never did this)
3/4 cup milk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Second layer
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa
1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional, but very good)
1 1/2 cups hot water or hot brewed coffee

1. To prepare for baking in your oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9” round cake pan.

2. To make the first layer: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, 6 tablespoons cocoa. Stir in the milk, vanilla, and oil, mixing until smooth. Pour the batter into the 9”round or square pan.

3. To make the second layer: Mix the 3/4 cup brown sugar with the 1/4 cup cocoaand sprinkle this mixture over the batter. Gently drizzle the hot coffee or water over the uncooked batter; there’s no need to mix it in.

4. Bake at 350 until top part (which is the cake part now) is done, about 1/2 hr or a bit more. Have toothpicks to check. A bit tricky as the pudding part is puddingy.

Second recipe

First layer
3/4 c. w. sugar
1 c. flour
1/4 c. cocoa pwd
2 t. b. powder
1/4 t. salt
1/3 c. melted butter
1/2 t. vanilla
1/2 c. milk

Second layer
1/2 c. w.sugar
1/2 c. br.sugar
1/4 c. cocoa pwd
1 1/4 c. hot/boiling water

Prepare as in the first recipe.

I was vegan vegitarian for many years and used drained extra firm tofu as a substitue for eggs in cooking. It added the needed moisture.

I have a great nephew allergic to eggs and tree nuts. Poor little guy. Doesn’t get him down though. I will pass the recipes on to his mom.
