Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and lightly butter a 1.5-quart baking dish.

  5. Fold in the chopped walnuts evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the packed light brown sugar and the remaining 1/4 cup cocoa powder.
  8. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cocoa mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
  9. Carefully pour the boiling water over the top of the batter; do not stir.
  10. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is set but the center remains slightly soft.
