This is some kind of wonderful...yes it is! And this is what great songs are made of! I was happy dancing to that song as I was eating this perfectly fabulous chocolate dessert!I even used low fat milk! So I would consider this a low fat dessert!
I found this recipe *here* on a food site called 'What2Cook', but I tweaked it slightly because I didn't have self rising flour. This is how I made it...INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbls. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk - I used 1% low fat
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
3 Tbls. melted butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all the above ingredients together and spread into a greased 11" x 7" baking pan.
Then make the topping mixture below.
TOPPING MIXTURE:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups hot water
Mix together topping mixture and just pour over batter in pan, but do not stir in the pan.
It will look like a soup, but will bake up nicely!
Bake for 40 minutes.
Remove from oven and let set for 15 minutes before serving to let the chocolate on the bottom thicken slightly.
Tastes great served warm.
Can eat plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Don't make this in a smaller pan than stated in the directions.
I tried to use an 8"x 8" pan and it took longer to bake plus the chocolate sauce didn't thicken until it was totally cold.
So stick with the 11" x 7" pan even though the mixture will be spread pretty thinly.
