Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour*
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 3 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup milk

- 1 1/4 cups Dixie Crystals Dark Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 2 cups hot water
- Optional Crème Chantilly

- Combine flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and 3 tablespoons cocoa and whisk until mixed.
- In a separate bowl, add vanilla to milk and stir. Combine milk mixture, vegetable oil, and nuts to dry ingredients. Stir until well blended.
- Pour into prepared pan. Mix brown sugar with 1/4 cup cocoa and sprinkle over batter. Pour hot water over entire surface.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes. Spoon out while warm and drizzle extra sauce over the top. Top with Creme Chantilly or homemade vanilla ice cream.
