This recipe was taken from Rhonda Barfield's book and it is my most favored for a special occasion!
Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl, sift together:
2 cups of flour (I have used wheat, but I have to admit that it is better with all white.)
1/3 cup cocoa
4 tsp baking powder
1 t salt
Stir in:
2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup oil
2 t vanilla
Mix well. Spread into 9x13, sprayed pan. (Consider using a slightly bigger pan. I have had this run over once or twice.) Set aside.
*
Combine 2 cups brown sugar and 1/2 cup cocoa. Sprinkle topping over the cake, evenly. * Pour 3 cups of hot water over all. (Yes, yes!) Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Let set for 10 minutes before serving.

(In her book, she says that you can cut some of the sugar and cocoa.
You may serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. I usually don't use either but it was Valentine's Day! --and I got the ice cream for about a $1!)
