"This was one of my grandpa's favorite things that my grandma made. It looks like an unfrosted chocolate cake but the secret in the pudding layer hiding underneath!"

Total distaster!!!! The batter was like sauce, never thickened. Wonder if 1 c. of flour was not enough. Baked it for over a hour and it's still in the oven with the slim chance it may cook. Too bad....was having a chocolate fix. Guess I'll dig into the freezer for a frozen pie for Sunday dinner. No stars earned.
