Chocolate Upside Down Cake and Tutorial


This easy chocolate upside down cake makes its own fudge sauce.  Served warm, it is one of my favorite desserts.


Chocolate Upside Down Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix together in a 2 qt. mixing bowl:

1 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tbsp. cocoa
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Add:
2 tbsp. butter, melted
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix all together and pour into an 8-in. square baker sprayed with cooking spray.

Mix:
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa

Sprinkle evenly over the batter, and pour 1 cup of HOT water evenly over the cake. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Serve warm.

The cake will rise to the top with the fudge sauce on the bottom. To serve, spoon out into a dish turning the spoon over so that the fudge sauce is on top. 


 I like to serve homemade vanilla ice cream with this cake, and here is a fantastic recipe!


My mom often made this cake for our family.  I have made it more times than I could ever count, and it has never failed to be a hit.
