My husbands grandmother Della was an old fashioned country cook. This was one of her amazing desserts. If you are in the mood for something very chocolate and very sweet. Then you will love this chocolate pudding cake. When you first make it you may think it is odd to pour water all over the dry batter before placing it in the oven. It sounds crazy, but the water poured over the dry batter (no stirring) makes the pudding. Beware! It is hard to stop at one piece.
