Brownie Pudding Cake

Stir together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, and baking powder. Add milk, apple butter, and vanilla. Stir till smooth. Transfer batter to 1-quart casserole. Combine the 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa. Gradually stir in boiling water. Pour evenly over batter. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Serve warm. Makes 4 servings. Notes: I baked mine for 30 minutes, which I think was too long, I just forgot to look at it sooner. Perhaps 20-25 minutes would be good. Also, the baking dish I used was a bit too small, and I had "pudding" boiling over the sides and all over the bottom of the oven. I didnt think about this since there was at least 2 inches between the top of the dish & the liquid. But just be prepared. The cake is quite heavy with a thick pudding, both with a RICH dark chocolate flavor. My first thought was "Ohh!! This would be perfect with vanilla ice cream!" But since I dont eat anything like that anymore, I just enjoyed it the way it was. Perhaps others would like FF frozen vanilla yogurt or whatever you enjoy. It was delicious cold the next day, straight from the fridge.
