Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (divided)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Packed brown sugar
- 1.25 cups Hot water
- 2 scoops per serving Vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until well combined and the mixture forms a thick batter.
Step 4
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish using a spatula.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and remaining cocoa powder (1/4 cup). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
Step 6
Pour the hot water over the top of the batter and brown sugar mixture. Do not stir.
Step 7
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top looks set but the pudding underneath is still gooey.
Step 8
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 9
To serve, scoop out portions of the warm cake along with the pudding sauce from the bottom of the dish. Top each serving with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy!
