I'm looking for a recipe for a chocolate upside down cake which I lost. It may have come from Family Circle, or Woman's Day; one of the women's mags I'm sure. It had a chocolate topping rather than a brown sugar one, which dripped down over the cake when it was inverted, and also had nuts in the topping, and was baked in a bundt pan. Would be grateful if anyone has this recipe.
