Chocolate Pudding Cake
Why I Love This Recipe
When I was a child we used to have this delicious dessert a lot. My Aunt Francis made it in a large white enamel baking dish and it feed a lot of people, which was a good thing because there was 7 kids in my family and 5 kids in my Aunt's family plus the adults, a large crowd indeed. I have scaled the recipe down some to fit my family.

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
