Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups hot water
- 0.5 cup brown sugar (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of brown sugar and cocoa powder for the topping.
Step 7
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cocoa topping evenly over the batter.
Step 8
Slowly pour the hot water over the back of a spoon onto the batter. Do not stir it in; this creates the pudding-like layer as it bakes.
Step 9
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is firm and slightly springy to the touch.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. The cake will have a fudgy, pudding-like layer at the bottom.
Step 11
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
