Ingredients
  

Batter

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp cocoa
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 Tbsp oil I used canola
  • ½ cup chopped nuts optional

Topping

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2-4 Tbsp cocoa
  • 1 ¾ cups hot water

Instructions
 

  • Stir together dry ingredients. Add milk, vanilla, oil, and nuts. Stir till well blended and spread in a greased 9" square pan.
  • Mix brown sugar and cocoa and sprinkle over the top. Pour hot water on top- do not mix in!
  • Bake for about 40 minutes at 350°. Serve warm with ice cream.
  • Crock pot instructions: Spread batter in a well greased 3 1/2 quart crock pot. Bring to a boil the hot water, brown sugar, and cocoa. Pour over batter in crock pot. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours. That's it!

Notes

  • This recipe really doesn't contain eggs, it's not a typo. :)
  • If you are a true chocoholic, you can add chocolate chips to the batter.
  • My favorite way to serve this is with pecans in the batter, and vanilla ice cream. So yummy!
