Chocolate Pud-n-Cake

When I was a little girl we would go to Grandma's house every Sunday.  There was always a lot of food.  Fried chicken or rabbit (Grandpa raised rabbits), pinto beans, green beans, raspeberries, peaches, and if we were lucky, maybe, this cake.  More recently I was watching The Great British Baking Show and learned it has another name and is part of a whole class of cakes "self-saucing cake".  It's meant to be served by turning it upside down as you take each portion out of the pan.

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

Notes and Comments:

You can easily substitute a gf flour.  Better Batter is my current favorite.
I don't use nuts, I like the creamy texture it has w/o them.

You can serve w/ whipped cream or ice cream if you want.
