Sixty years ago, give or take, my Mother made this recipe once in a while and I remember it being my all time fav. I still love it, and today it's called Chocolate Pudding Cake mix, but Mom's is much better.

This is a quick dessert that any chocolate lover will flip over. It is also low in sugar and low in fat. Any variety of nut can be substituted for the pecans. Great with ice cream.

Mom use to make this for us. I don't have any idea where she got the recipe, but I have had it for many years; we were young when I can remember her making it. She called it a Devil's Float.

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • 2. Mix 3/4 Cup of the (white) sugar, four, and 3 Tablespoons of Cocoa. Add milk, then butter and vanilla; beat until smooth. (*I use a whisk. You can use a spoon or whatever you are comfortable with. Do not use a mixer as it puts to much air in the mixture). The batter will be essentially the consistency of a Brownie batter.
  • 3. Pour into baking dish/pan. Set aside.
  • 4. In small bowl mix thoroughly the following: 1/2 Cup of the (white) sugar (this is the remaining amount, 4 Tablespoons Cocoa (this is remaining amount), and all the Brown Sugar. Whisk/stir together 'til well blended/mixed.

  • 7. Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes (it may take more time depending on your oven). The top will look dry and will crack. You can check the "cake part" with a tooth pick or cake tester if you need, but do not push tester all the way to the bottom.
  • 8. This is somewhat like a chocolate cake that makes its own puddin'.
