Brownie Pudding Cake

-
If you are a chocolate lover, you will want to try this recipe.  I clipped it out of a Taste of Home magazine years ago.  It is rich and lusciously delicious, and totally unhealthy.  Just remember God gives us all good things, and enjoy it in moderation.  A little goes a long ways with this recipe. 


Brownie Pudding Cake

Topped with ice cream and pudding sauce drizzled over it.
Sauce:
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1/4 c baking cocoa
1 1/2 c boiling water

Cake:
1 c. all purpose flour
1/2 c sugar
1/4 c baking cocoa
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1 egg, beaten
2 T butter or margarine, melted
1 t vanilla extract
1/2 c semisweet chocolate chips

vanilla ice cream

In a saucepan, combine sauce ingredients and keep warm.  In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.  In a small bowl, combine egg, milk, butter, and vanilla; add to dry ingredients and stir until moistened.  Fold in chocolate chips.  Pour into a greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish.  Pour warm sauce over batter.  Do not stir.  Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until cake is firm and floats in sauce.  Let rest 10 minutes.  Serve warm and topped with ice cream.  Yield: 8-10 servings.

    This is almost the same as my Hot Fudge Pudding Cake recipe (slight variation in the sugar and cocoa amounts).
    However, my recipe doesn't require heating the topping ingredients together. It's easier and creates fewer prep dishes to clean: For the top layer, stir together the brown sugar and cocoa and sprinkle it over the top. (You can prepare it to this point a couple of hours ahead of baking time - makes it easier to time its arrival at the dessert table.) When ready to bake, pour 1-1/2 cups hottest tap water over the top, then bake.
    Either way, it's yummy and always a hit with guests!

      Thank you, Pam. I'll have to try that. It does a bit easier.

What You Need: 1 lb ground chuck 2 lb zucchini or yellow squash, chopped in bite size pieces 1 green or red bell pepper, chopped 1 large onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 26 ounce jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves 1/2 teaspoon black pepper salt to taste What To Do: 1.  Brown ground chuck with onion and bell pepper in a large skillet.  Drain grease. 2.  Add garlic and seasonings.  Stir. 3.  Add zucchini and stir.  Cover with lid and cook over medium heat for approximately 15 minutes until zucchini is crisp tender.  Stir about every 5 minutes. 4.  Remove lid and stir in spaghetti sauce.  Co

When You Have To Let Go

Heartache.  Deep, painful, agonizing heartache.  For a season that felt like it would never end, I carried a weight of anguish that tore at my very soul.  Parenting had been the source of immense joy for me, but at the same time there came with it intense sorrow.    Learning to handle this heartache is something that for me personally both challenged and grew my faith.  During this time I learned to appreciate the words of Psalm 77.  The lament of the Psalmist was much the same as my own heart cry to God.  It says,  I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and he will hear me.  In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying; my soul refuses to be comforted. When I remember God, I moan; when I meditate, my spirit faints. You hold my eyelids open ; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. I consider the days of old, the years long ago. I said, “Let me remember my song in the night; let me meditate in my heart.” Then my spirit made diligent search:

My Battle with Depression

"Your Mom is not the same person she was," I overheard my husband explain to one of our boys. Our son wistfully replies, "I hope she gets better soon." My tears flowed.  I was not sure I would ever be better.  How does a broken heart heal?  How is one ever the same after they are broken? Each day I rose early.  In the stillness of the morning, I sought strength from above.  I never wanted to leave the quiet.  I wanted to stay here reading His Word and praying.  But...children awoke, meals needed fixed, laundry begged washing, and somehow I walked through each day.  However, I lived angry inside...angry that my solitude had been disturbed. The reality of my life was depression.  A depression that would not loosen its grip. It took me a long time to acknowledge it though. Over a year before my medical doctor had suggested to me that I take an anti-depressant.  I had gone in for unexplained aching and fatigue in my body.  After a lot of blood work, and fi
