This was the best of these that I have found yet. I subbed 1/4 c. cocoa for 1/4 c. of the flour in the cake, and cut the boiling water to 3/4 c. This made the cake extra chocolatey and the sauce more like pudding instead of as thin as some I've tried. My batter was not stiff at all, but it still baked up well in about 30 min. Yummy! -
Yummy! My husband really liked this dessert. I made this according to directions, which is unusual for me. I did make milk from milk powder and water. Thank you for a yummy recipe! -
This sounds very good and similar to something I've made but use coffee rather than boiling water. I look forward to trying this recipe.
