Hot Fudge Sundae Cake

Ingredients

2 cups flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1-1/3 cups sugar

6 Tablespoons baking cocoa

1 cup milk

2 teaspoons vanilla

4 Tablespoons melted butter or margarine

1 cup chopped walnuts

2 cups packed brown sugar

1/2 cup cocoa

3 cups boiling water

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and baking cocoa in large mixer bowl. In a separate bowl, combine milk, vanilla, and melted butter or margarine. Add to dry ingredients. Beat until smooth. Add chopped walnuts. Spread in a greased 9 x 13-inch pan.

Mix brown sugar and cocoa in a bowl. Sprinkle over batter in pan. Pour boiling water over entire cake. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Do not turn cake out of pan; this cake makes its own fudge sauce in the bottom. Cut and serve while warm, scooping up the fudge sauce as you serve. Wonderful with vanilla ice cream.
