Butterscotch Pudding

This is one of those self-sauced cakes, that has a firm cake-like texture on the top, a gooey pudding-like texture in the middle, and a sweet sauce on the bottom. The best part is - it is all made in one dish and just baked in the oven. These puddings are excellent hot but leftovers are also good cold. I have made chocolate, hot fudge, and lemon sauced puddings before, now here is a sweet butterscotch version.

Butterscotch Pudding
CAKE
2 cups all-purpose (plain) flour
1 cup granulated (white) sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or hard margarine, softened
SAUCE
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons butter or hard margarine
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups hot water

Preheat oven to 350◦F. 
CAKE: Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, then spread into a 9x13-inch rectangular pan.
SAUCE: Stir all ingredients together and pour over batter in pan, but DO NOT stir. Now bake for 30 minutes until a cake is formed at the top. A toothpick inserted in the cake part should come out clean, but if you  stick it to the bottom of the pan, there will be a sauce. Great warm with ice cream!
