Chocolate Lush (’Wacky Cake’)

Serves 8

1 cup flour

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (divided use)

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

one 1-ounce square baking chocolate, melted

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup chopped walnuts

3/4 cup brown sugar

4 tablespoons cocoa

1 3/4 cups boiling water

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Mix flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt, then add melted chocolate and melted butter, milk and vanilla. Mix to combine. Spread in a greased 9-inch cake pan.

Mix walnuts, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, brown sugar and cocoa. Sprinkle over the batter that is already in the pan. Then pour the boiling water slowly over all. Bake for 1 hour, putting a cookie sheet on the lower rack to catch any spilled batter. Cool for 15 minutes, loosen around edges with a sharp knife and then invert onto a rimmed serving plate.

Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
