Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.33 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 brown sugar (packed)
• 1.25 cups boiling water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and the remaining unsweetened cocoa powder (approximately 3 tablespoons). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.

Step 6

Carefully pour the boiling water over the mixture in the baking dish. Do not stir—this step is crucial for creating the self-saucing layer.

Step 7

Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is set and a skewer inserted into the cake part comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the pudding cool for 5 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly during this time.

Step 9

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly indulgent dessert experience.
