2/3 Cup Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1/4 Cup Butter or Marjorine

1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
3/4 Cup Sugar

Recipe
Chocolate Sauce:
Melt the chocolate in the 1/2 cup of water over low heat. Add the marjorine and vanilla. Stir to mix well. Set aside to cool.
Cake Filling:
Mix all ingredients well and pour into prepared pie crust. Pour the cooled Chocolate sauce over the top of the cake batter (gently so as not to make large holes, I usually pour it onto a big spoon and let it run down the sides of the spoon).
You can top it with some cocoanut or 3 Tbs. chopped if desired. (I ike it plain)
Bake in a pre heated oven @ 350 degrees for 50/55 minutes or till done. Test as any other cake.
The chocolate sauce should be on the bottom of the cake when it is done.
