Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 1.5 cups boiling water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
Step 5
Carefully pour the boiling water over the top. Do not stir. The water will form a layer on top, which will transform into the sauce as it bakes.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top of the cake looks set and firm.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. The bottom layer will be a fudgy sauce, while the top will be a soft chocolate cake.
Step 8
Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
