CHOCOLATE BRANDY PUDDING CAKE

1 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. granulated sugar
Pinch of cinnamon
1/2 c. cocoa
1/4 c. milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract
4 tbsp. (1/4 stick) melted butter,
cooled
3/4 c. dark brown sugar
1/2 c. brandy
1 c. boiling water
Whipped cream (optional)

Sift the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, salt, 3/4 cup of the sugar, cinnamon and half the cocoa. Set aside. In a bowl, combine the milk, cream and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients along with the melted butter. Stir to make a thick batter. Spread evenly in an ungreased 9 inch baking pan, preferably glass or ceramic. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, remaining granulated sugar and remaining cocoa. Sprinkle evenly over the batter. Combine the brandy and the water and pour over the top of the batter. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 50 minutes. The cake will be set around the sides and the top will be very loose and bubbly. Cool in the pan on a rack for an hour or more. Slice or "scoop" to serve. Serve with chipped cream, if desired. This is a fantastic cross between brownies, fudge, chocolate pudding and an after-dinner brandy!

Drippings from prime rib roast

Have milk and eggs at room temperature. Beat eggs until fluffy, add milk and beat in flour and salt until light and bubbly. When roast is almost done, remove about 5 or 6 tablespoons of drippings from the pan. Pour drippings in an 18-inch square pan and place in hot oven. Beat pudding again and pour immediately into hot drippings. Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake 10 minutes longer. During the last 10 minute baking period, remove roast, place on a rack above pudding, and let the meat juices drip from roast onto top of the pudding. You will have a puffy and well-browned pudding. Serve immediately as it will fall after about 5 minutes. Serves 4. Easily doubles. NOTE: Line oven with foil for easier clean up!

You can spare your noodle at least 100 calories by using low fat dairy products in this tasty custard. Try one of the butter flavored margarines (with a "liquid oil" as the first ingredient) instead of butter and you'll spare more calories and cholesterol too! Stick with three eggs only; try topping this dish with cinnamon and nutmeg.
