Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for sauce)
• 1.25 cups boiling water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 4 individual ramekins or oven-safe dessert cups with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

Stir in the granulated sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture forms a smooth batter.

Step 4

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins, filling each about halfway.

Step 5

In another bowl, combine the brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder for the sauce, stirring to mix well.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cocoa-brown sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the ramekins.

Step 7

Carefully pour the boiling water over the back of a spoon onto the top of the batter in each ramekin. Use about 5 tablespoons of water per ramekin, ensuring it covers the surface.

Step 8

Place the ramekins on a baking tray to catch any overflow, and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are set and a little springy to the touch.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the puddings cool for a few minutes. The sauce will have formed underneath the sponge layer.

Step 10

Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
