Fudge Upside Down Cake

Cake

2 c flour

1/2 cup cocoa

1 2/3 c sugar

4 t baking powder

1/2 t salt

6 T butter, melted

1 c chopped pecans

1 c milk

1 t vanilla

Whisk dry (and nuts) and wet in separate bowls, then combine and stir well.

Batter is very stiff.  Spread into a greased 9x13 pan.

(I had to add an extra T of milk to thin it very slightly to spread)

Sauce

1 c sugar

1 c brown sugar

1/2 c and 2 T cocoa

1 3/4 c hot water

1 t vanilla

Mix sugars and cocoa.  Add water and stir until smooth.  Stir in vanilla.

This is very runny.  Very slowly and gently, pour sauce over the cake batter.

Do not stir.

Bake 325 for 50 minutes.  Top should be well browned and firm to touch.

Mine took 10 minutes longer.  Bake until edges begin to pull away from pan.

Cool slightly.  Serve warm.  12 servings.  Spoon sauce over pieces and 

serve with ice cream.

I didn't serve it right away and simply put each portion in the microwave

15 seconds before adding the ice cream.

Enjoy!
