Fudge Brule

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa
4 eggs well beaten
1/2 pound melted butter
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans - optional

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix sugar, flour, and cocoa. Add to beaten eggs, and blend thoroughly. Add butter, vanilla and nuts. Pour into a 9x9 pan or glass baking dish. Place the filled pan inside a pan of hot water and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. You can test for doneness by inserting a knife. It will have the consistency of custard, but will not be stiff. As it cools it will become more firm. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
