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
- 0.75 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for topping)
- 1.5 cups hot water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a similar sized dish.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well blended.
Step 3
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Step 4
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish using a spatula.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
Step 6
Carefully pour the hot water over the entire dish. Do not stir—it’s important to let the topping form naturally during baking.
Step 7
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is set and a cake-like consistency has formed.
Step 8
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. The cake will have a moist, pudding-like fudge layer underneath.
Step 9
Spoon the cake onto plates, ensuring to scoop up some of the sauce from the bottom. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
