John O'Brien's Chocolate Pudding Cake
Makes 1 (9-inch) cake.
Batter:
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate
3/4c. sugar
1 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2c. chocolate chips, optional
Topping:
1/2c. brown sugar
1/2c. white sugar
1/4c. unsweetened cocoa powder
11/4c. boiling water
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate together, stirring until smooth. (Or, put them in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on high for about 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.)
In a separate bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, baking powder and salt. Stir this, along with the milk and vanilla, into the chocolate mixture, then stir in the chocolate chips, if using. Turn into a lightly greased 9-inch cake pan.
In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, white sugar and cocoa powder. Sprinkle over the batter. Pour the boiling water over the entire pan.
Bake until the sides begin to pull slightly away from the pan, about 40 minutes. Serve immediately, warm.

We spent the day in Toronto in May 2009 and went to the top of the CN Tower. While at the top, I snapped this picture of the shadow it cast.
