Death by Chocolate from Charlene Sunderman

2 oz (2 squares) unsweetened chocolate
¼ cup butter
2 cups granulated sugar, divided
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
1 cup milk
½ cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans (I omit this cause I don’t like nuts)
1 tsp. vanilla
2/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
6 Tbs. Unsweetened cocoa
Whipped cream to serve (heavy whipping cream with tsp. vanilla and some sugar to sweeten the flavor)

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly butter 2-1/2 qt. Deep casserole and set aside. Place chocolate and butter in small saucepan and cook over low heat until melted. Set aside to cool slightly. Combine 1-1/3 cups granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well and sift into large bowl. Stir in reserved chocolate, milk, nuts and vanilla. Spoon into prepared casserole and smooth top. Place brown sugar, remaining 2/3 cup granulated sugar, and cocoa in bowl and stir to combine. Scatter over top of batter. Pour 2 cups water (room temperature) over mixture but do not stir. Bake in preheated oven 1 hour. When done there will be a crust on top and chocolate inside will be runny. Serve warm or hot with whipped cream on the side.
