Chocolate Upside-Down Cake

 Bake: 35 minutes       Serves: 20

Ingredients:

• 4 cups plain flour
• 8 Tbsp. Cocoa
• 8 tsp. baking powder
• 2 cups milk
• 1 tsp. salt
• 8 Tbsp. shortening
• 3 cups sugar
  
  Topping:
  
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 7 cups hot water
• 8 Tbsp. cocoa

Directions:

Mix the first 5 ingredients then add the milk and shortening. Spread mixture into two 9 x 13 inch pans. Mix the brown sugar and cocoa and sprinkle over the two pans. Pour 3 1/2 cups very hot water over each pan. Bake at 350¡F for 35 minutes. Check for doneness by dipping a spoon in the middle of one of the pans. If the syrup on the bottom comes out as dark as chocolate syrup, it is done. Use a large spoon and turn the cake upside down so the syrup is on top. Serve with whipped cream if desired. Serves about 20.
