This is an absolute favourite in our house.  Plus, it's super easy to make, doesn't need a lot of ingredients and comes together quickly.  I've even made it for Christmas Dinner Dessert and it was a bit hit.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a 8" x 8" pan (I like to use glass but it doesn't matter).

Add butter into the pan.  If using a glass pan, microwave to melt the butter.  If using a metal pan, microwave to melt in a small bowl.  Then, add the remaining ingredients.   Using a fork, mix together making sure that all is blended well and is evenly distributed.

Then, in small bowl, combine together well, 1/2 cup White Sugar, 1/2 cup Brown Sugar and 1/4 cup Cocoa.  Sprinkle this sugar mixture evenly over the cake batter.

Pour over the top 1  and 1/4 cups of Hot Water.  I know it sounds odd, but as it bakes the sugar and water will move to the bottom to become chocolate pudding.

Bake for 30 minutes until the top cake layer looks like cake when slightly lifted with a knife.  Let cool and enjoy on it's own, or add whipped cream or ice cream.

Amounts for Loaf Pan version (4" x 8") - rrecipe halved:

For the topping, use 1/4 cup White Sugar, 1/4 cup Brown Sugar and 2 tablespoons Cocoa.  For the water, use 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons.
