1 cup all-purpose flour

2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 Tablespoons cooking oil
1 Teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I left this out since we don't like nuts in our food)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups boiling water
Vanilla ice cream (Optional, but I think it's sooo much better with it!!!)

1. Grease an 8x8x2-inch baking pan; set aside. In a medium bowl stir together the flour, granulated sugar, the 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, the baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, oil and vanilla. Stir in the walnuts (ARE YOU NUTS!!!! It is so much better without nuts!!!You cannibal!)

2. Pour batter into prepared baking pan. In a small bowl stir together the brown sugar and the 1/4 cup cocoa powder; stir in the boiling water. Slowly pour water mixture over batter.

3. Bakin in a 350* oven for 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 45-60 minutes. Serve warm. Spoon cake into dessert bowls; spoon sauce over cake. If desired (and oh believe me it is desirable!), serve with vanilla ice cream.
