  • tablespoons double-acting baking powder 
  • cup cherries pitted

Equipment

  • bowl
  • oven
  • baking pan

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F for 15 minutes. Grease and flour a 13×9 inch baking pan. Since I used a glass pan, I preheated the oven at 325F.In a large bowl, combine together the flour, granulated sugar, 1/3 cup cocoa and baking powder.Stir in milk and applesauce to the dry ingredients until just moistened.Fold in the cherries and nuts. The cake batter is very thick at this stage.Spoon into the greased pan.
  2. Mix the brown sugar, hot water and 1/4 cup cocoa in the same large bowl, until smooth; pour over batter.
  3. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until set (cake will have a pudding like texture).
  4. Serve warm or at room temperature.
