1/2 c Chopped nuts
1/2 c Milk
1 ts Vanilla
2 tb Melted shortening
—-SAUCE—-
4 tb Cocoa

Sift the first five ingredients together. Add the nuts. Make a well in the
centre and add milk, vanilla and melted shortening. Stir lightly and pour
batter into a greased casserole. SAUCE: Measure cocoa, brown sugar, hot
water and orange rind into a bowl and beat well. Pour over batter. Bake for
35 to 40 minutes at 350F. As this dessert bakes, the batter rises through
the rich chocolate sauce. Serve it hot with whipped cream or vanilla ice
cream.
