Libby’s Lines

One more week till school starts! I am excited about the coming personal time I’ll have each day, however, I am also anxious about the coming year for my children.

Having children in high school means that everything they do really starts to count! Their grades, extra-curricular activities, volunteering all count toward possible scholarships for college and even counts toward acceptance to college. They have to be very aware of their decisions and we have to be very careful in our reactions to their decisions.

My prayer is that these adolescents just take it slow; not rush into anything or any decision.

Pudding Cake Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Stir together:
3/4 c. Sugar
1 c. Flour
1/4 c. Cocao Powder
2 t. Baking Powder
1/4 t. Salt

Add in:
1/2 c. Milk
1/3 c. Butter, melted
1 1/2 t. Vanilla

Pour mixture into a 9″ square baking pan/dish.

Stir together, in separate bowl:

1/2 c. Sugar
1/2 c. Brown Sugar
1/4 c. CocoaPowder

Sprinkle over batter in pan. Do Not Mix with batter. Completely cover batter.

Pour 1 1/4 c. Hot Water over dry mix. Do Not Mix.

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until center is almost set.

Let stand 10-15 minutes and serve warm with ice cream or whipped topping. The cake will be moist with a pudding on the bottom. This is soooo good. It is rich, so smaller servings are better.
