I was going to make this recipe and put the photos of each step on here, but decided against it since it's a very rich dessert, and I'd end up eating it in a day or two, going thru many sugar highs - so I'll forego the photos.
This pudding is a recipe from the cookbook - A Family Raised on Sunshine by Beverly Nye. She says in the cookbook that she makes this recipe on days when she's feeling a bit depressed, and it picks her mood right up.
Down-in-the-Dumps Pudding
Beat together:
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 tblsp cocoa
Stir in:
1 cup milk
4 tblsp vegetable oil
2 cups chopped nuts
Spread mixture in ungreased 9 x 13 in pan
Blend in a small bowl:
2 cups brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup cocoa
Sprinkle over top of batter
Pour over all: 3 cups hot water. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes
This turns out like a pudding cake and is extremely rich and decadent. I hope you enjoy this recipe
Take care All, and have a blessed Sunday, from KY

Hi Kathy,
The recipe sounds good. I'll have to try it soon.
I understand about making it and eating it! I am thinking of making a Cherry Yum Yum pie today but I know who will eat most of it..me, of course!
Thanks for the recipe.
Have a great day.

It doesn't have any Peanuts, but I suppose one could substitute.
Marigold - it does call for nuts, so you could put peanuts in if you like. Get the OK from the GoatMother first, though.
This one will be in my oven by
8:00 a.m. sharp!!
I imagine we will add a scoop of
vanilla bean ice cream for good measure.
Oh now that sounds delish, I love anything with Chocolate, I will be trying this one for sure, hugs my Southern Friend, hugs to Y'all
My family use to make something real similar about 50 years ago. I am glad to stumble across your recipe. We may try making it again for this generation of the family.Thanks for sharing it.
