• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa, divided
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 9-inch round baking pan or deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray.

In large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa, the baking powder, and salt.

Add milk, oil, and vanilla; mix with a spoon until smooth. Stir in walnuts then pour batter into baking pan.

In small bowl, combine brown sugar and remaining 1/4 cup cocoa; sprinkle evenly over batter. Pour hot water over brown sugar and cocoa.

While still warm, cut into wedges and serve topped with sauce from bottom of pan.
