Brownie Pudding!

I never need chocolate. That's too simple. I need brownies! And some days, like today, I actually wake up in the morning with brownies on my mind. Sadly I forgot that I'm out of butter. However there is an amazing recipe called Brownie Pudding that doesn't call for butter or eggs! It's my savior when I don't have those key ingredients or a way to get to the store. Slightly similar to bread pudding...but all chocolate! And so easy...here you go:

Ingredients: 
1 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp cooking oil
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups boiling water

Directions:
Grease an 8x8x2-inch baking pan and set aside. In a medium bowl stir the flour, sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder and salt. Stir in the milk, oil and vanilla. Pour batter into prepared baking pan.
In a small bowl mix the brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Stir in the boiling water and slowly pour mixture over batter.
Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes. Cook on a wire rack for 45 minutes. Serve warm, pouring sauce from pan over the cake. Best served with vanilla ice-cream! (6-8 servings)
