Ingredients:

All purpose Flour or Maida – 2 cups

Salt – 1 tsp

Sugar – 1 cup sugar

Baking powder – 4 tsp

Cocoa – 3 tbsp

Melted butter – 4 tbsp

Milk – 1 cup

Vanilla essence – 2 tsp

Chopped Walnuts – 3/4 cup (optional)

For Topping:

Sugar – 1/4 cup

Brown sugar – 1 cup

Salt – 1/4 tsp

Cocoa – 1 tbsp

Boiling Water – 1 cup

Preparation:

In a mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa.

In another bowl, add sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla essence and beat it well using a electric hand mixer.

Now add the flour mixture and walnuts (optional) and beat it at low while mixing the flour. You can use a spatula to mix it gently.

Grease a 9 inch glass pyrex baking dish and spread this mixture into it and set aside.

In another mixing bowl, combine the toppings (sugar, brown sugar, salt and cocoa). Mix it well and sprinkle it on top of the batter. Do not stir/mix it into the batter.

Pour the boiling water on top and do not stir.

Preheat oven to 180 C or 350 deg F . Place the baking dish inside the oven and bake for 80 minutes or until it is set. The cake will rise and you will see a pudding form at the bottom of the dish.

It is recommended to serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.
