I have a file of recipes that are family favorites.
It was hard to pick one and I can keep this going for a long time.
This is a recipe I loved as a child and made for my own children.
One warning, it’s a weird LOOKING recipe.You make this nice batter and then pour WATER over it. You put that in the oven, chocolate-y water swirling on top, thinking, nope, that can’t be right.
IT IS! Eat this warm if at all possible, with ice cream.
This creates this LOVELY chocolate fudge sauce at the bottom of the cake. It is so delicious.
Leave a comment to get your name in a drawing for a signed copy of my new book, to be released in OCTOBER. Riches Beyond Measure, book #3 in the Golden State Treasure Series.
Hot Fudge Pudding Cake
1 C. flour
¾ C. sugar
2 T. cocoa
2 t. baking powder
¼ t. salt
Mix together in bowl. Add:
½ C. milk
2 T. butter (melted)
Pour into ungreased 9 x 9 cake pan. Stir together:
1 C. brown sugar
¼ C. cocoa
Sprinkle over batter.
Pour over batter:
1 ¾ C. hot water
Yes it looks awful, but trust me. Pour the water on.
Bake at 3500 for 45 minutes. Cake on top is done, sauce in bottom isn’t. Its hard to tell if its done. It has to be eaten hot, even microwaved isn’t as good. Serve with ice cream.
When they leave the ranch in search of stolen treasure, will the spark between them survive the perils ahead?
When an earthquake strikes Two Harts Ranch, it shakes the life of Annie Lane along with that of Cord Westbrook, who has been working as a cowboy on Annie’s family ranch in anticipation of purchasing his own. The only thing delaying his plan is the deep attraction he feels toward Annie, a widow with a child and an established life as a teacher at the Hart School for Orphans. Unfortunately for Cord, she seems determined to avoid romance.The aftermath of the earthquake reveals that prized artifacts from the long-sought MacKenzie’s Treasure have been stolen from the ranch. But the return of the MacKenzie family from out east has everyone focused on what other precious finds might be waiting at the end of the legendary two-part map. As Cord, Annie, and the MacKenzies set out in search of riches, they face dangers more treacherous than earthquakes. With gold in their sights and love within reach, Cord and Annie realize that some treasures may fade, but life’s true riches are far more valuable than earthly goods.
Embark on a rousing California wilderness adventure filled with danger, deception, and second chances in this riveting conclusion to Mary Connealy’s Golden State Treasure series–ideal for fans of frontier romances, cowboys, and treasure hunts.
Author of Romantic Comedy...with Cowboys including the bestselling Kincaid Brides Series

You know chocolate is tricky in old recipes. Chocolate wasn’t a usual ingredient. So I don’t use it in books. Usually my characters are making beef stew

Sounds pretty good. I love chocolate.
This would be a great recipe to make with the kids. I am sure they would be a bit upset to see the water poured onto the batter. What a wonderful surprise for them when it came out of the oven and when it was served.
Makes it all the more fun it if looks weird. LOL
