1-3/4 cups light brown sugar, divided
1 cup flour
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-3/4 cups hot water
1/4 cup blanched sliced almonds (optional)
Vanilla Ice cream
In a mixing bowl combine 1-cup of brown sugar, flour, 3 tablespoons cocoa
powder, baking powder and salt. Stir to mix well. Mix in the milk, melted
butter and vanilla. (The batter will be very thick.) Spread the batter over
the bottom of a 3-1/2 quart crock pot. In another bowl combine the remaining
3/4-cup brown sugar, 1/4-cup cocoa powder, almonds and the hot water. Mix
well. Pour over the top of the batter but do not stir. Cover and cook until a
toothpick inserted in center, comes out clean. About 2 hours on HIGH.
Note: Do not cook on low for a longer period of time. Spoon the warm pudding
into individual bowls serve with scoops of vanilla ice cream on top.
