Oops - somehow it get left out, complete recipe:
First recipe
First layer
1 cup all-purpose 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 9round 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; theres 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.
Thanks : )
