Simply De-lite-ful: Hot Fudge Sundae Cake
Serves 8

A little cake and a little pudding in the same pan.  We even like pouring a little cold nonfat half-and-half over this before eating.
It’s rich and chocolaty.

• 1 cup flour
• ¾ cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ½ cup chopped nuts, optional
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup cocoa powder
• 1 ¾ cups hottest tap water
• Nonfat whipped topping, nonfat ice cream, or nonfat frozen yogurt

• Stir in nuts, if using, and spread mixture evenly in pan.
