Great cake

Ingredients:

for the cake

1 3/4 cups (440 ml) all-purpose flour

1 1/4 cups (310 ml) sugar

1/3 cup (80 ml) unsweetened cocoa, dutch process

if possible

3 tbs (45 ml) baking powder

3/4 cup (180 ml) milk

1/2 cup (125 ml) applesauce

1 cup (250 ml) pitted fresh or canned sweet cherries

1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped pecans or walnuts

for the sauce

3 cups (750 ml) hot water

1 1/4 cups (310 ml) packed brown sugar

1/4 cup (60 ml) unsweetened cocoa, dutch process

if possible

Directions:

1. Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Stir in the milk and applesauce just enough to moisten the dry ingredients. Fold in the cherries and pecans and spread the batter into a greased and floured 13 x 9 inch (33 x 23 cm) baking pan. Combine the sauce ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine and dissolve the sugar. Gently pour the liquid over the batter and bake in a preheated 350F (180C) oven until set (it will have a pudding-like texture), 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
