Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 cups brown sugar (packed)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for sauce)
• 0.5 cups water (or milk for a creamier sauce)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or a similar-sized dish.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and the egg.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and carefully mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing as it can make the cake dense.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the cake is baking, prepare the brown sugar sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter for the sauce.

Step 8

Stir in the brown sugar and water (or milk) and cook until the sugar has fully dissolved, stirring frequently. Bring it to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set the sauce aside to cool slightly.

Step 10

Once the cake has baked, let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Cut the cake into squares and drizzle the warm brown sugar sauce generously over each serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!
