I'm making this for dessert tonight. The Amish may live a simple life, but they do know how to pig out! 
This quick and easy pudding cake has the texture of a brownie but also forms its own chocolate sauce as it bakes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream!

1 teaspoon salt
⅔ cup white sugar
½ cup milk
