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.
