Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1-1/2 cups whole milk, divided
2 unbaked pastry shells (9 inches)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, room temperature
2 tablespoons shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream, optional

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and cocoa. Blend in 1/2 cup milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour into unbaked pastry shells, tipping to coat the pastry halfway up the sides; set aside. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and remaining sugar. Add egg, shortening, vanilla and remaining milk; beat until smooth. Starting at the edge, spoon batter into the pastry shells, completely covering the chocolate.

  • In a bowl, blend flour, salt and shortening together with fingers until mealy, about the size of peas. Add enough ice water to form dough. Mix just enough to moisten. Over-mixing will result in a tough dough. Press into disks, cover with plastic and keep chilled in the fridge till you're ready. Chill at least 1 hour. When ready, roll out on lightly floured surface and fit into pie pans. Flute edges as desired.
  • Combine flour, salt, baking powder in a bowl and set aside. In another bowl, combine eggs, shortening or butter, sugar, milk and vanilla; mix well. Slowly add in the dry ingredients until well incorporated. Pour cake batter into pie crust.
  • In another bowl, combine ingredients for chocolate layer. Gently pour chocolate layer over cake layer.
  • Bake at 350 F degrees until cake is done 45 to 55 minutes, checking at 45 minutes. If center jiggles, bake a few more minutes until center is set. You can cover the edges with foil for the first 40 minutes to keep the crusts from getting too brown if desired.
