Ingredients
  

  • 1 9 inch pie shell

Cake

  • 1 1/4 cup cake flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Chocolate Sauce

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Make the cake layer

  • Mix the cake flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a bowl.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, butter and vanilla.
  • With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients until they are just incorporated.
  • Increase the mixer speed to medium and add the egg. Beat the cake mix for 2 minutes, then add the walnuts and beat for one more minute.

Make the chocolate sauce

  • In a small saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, water and vanilla. Heat the mixture over low heat until the cocoa and sugar is dissolved.

Build and bake the pie

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pie shell, then carefully drizzle the chocolate sauce over the cake batter.
  • Bake the pie for 45-55 minutes in a 350 degree oven. The pie is done when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown, you can cover it with a bit of foil.
