I can still remember my grandma serving this delicious cake on the big wooden table in her farm kitchen. Every time I bake this unusual cake, it takes me back to those special days at Grandma's. -Diane Ganssle, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Time 1h

Yield 16 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1-1/2 cups whole milk, divided
2 unbaked pastry shells (9 inches)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, room temperature
2 tablespoons shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream, optional

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and cocoa. Blend in 1/2 cup milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour into unbaked pastry shells, tipping to coat the pastry halfway up the sides; set aside. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and remaining sugar. Add egg, shortening, vanilla and remaining milk; beat until smooth. Starting at the edge, spoon batter into the pastry shells, completely covering the chocolate. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm or chilled with whipped cream if desired.
