Default Fudge Upside Down Cake

This is a yummy dessert cake!! It has a similar texture to a rich brownie. The fudge sauce sinks to the bottom during baking, but is spooned over the cake for serving. Goes nicely with a scoop if ice cream!

FUDGE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
2 cups Flour
1/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1-2/3 cups Sugar
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 cup Milk, room temperature
1/4 cup [1/2 stick] Unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp Vanilla
1 ounce Unsweetened chocolate, melted

SAUCE
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
1-3/4 cup Hot water

Preheat oven to 325°F [160°C]
CAKE :
Generously butter 9x13 inch [23x33 cm] baking dish.
Stir first 4 ingredients into large bowl.

Whisk milk, butter and vanilla in medium bowl. Add to dry ingredients and beat well.
