Hot Fudge Pudding Cake

This one is soooo quick. And the temperture setting is good for when you make a roast pork, too! Soooo chocolatey and great with ice cream (so I'm told!!).

Hot Fudge Pudding Cake
1 1/2 cups sugar (divided into 1 cup and 1/2 cup)
1 cup flour
7 tablespoons cocoa powder (divided into 3 tbsp and 4 tbsp)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk (I use rice milk)
1/3 cup margarine, melted
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups hot water

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup of sugar, flou, 3 tbsp of cocoa, baking powder and salt. Blend in milk, melted margarine and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Pour batter into 8 or 9 inch square pan. In a small bowl combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, and 4 tbsp of cocoa. Sprinkle evenly over batter. Pour hot water over the top, but do not stir. Bake for 40 minutes or until the centre is almost set. Let stand 15 minutes. Spoon into dessert dishes, spooning sauce from the bottom of the pan over the top.
Decadently chocolatey!
