Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 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
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (light or dark)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (for sauce)
- 1.25 cups Boiling water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder together. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
Step 5
Carefully pour the boiling water over the top of the entire dish. Do not stir—the water will combine with the cocoa layer to create the sauce as it bakes.
Step 6
Bake the pudding cake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top is set and the sauce is bubbling at the edges.
Step 7
Let the cake cool for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
