"Here's a wonderful way to top off a great meal...a rich, chocolatey cake that's not overly sweet. Mom served it with a scoop of ice cream or cream poured over. I'd always have room for a serving of Hot Fudge Cake." -- Vera Reid, Laramie, Wyoming.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa, baking powder and salt. Stir in the milk, oil and vanilla until smooth.

Spread in an ungreased 9-inch square baking pan. Combine brown sugar and remaining cocoa; sprinkle over batter. Pour hot water over all; do *not* stir. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 35-40 minutes. Serve warm.

Top with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
