Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder (divided)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar (packed)
- 1.5 cups Boiling water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.
Step 3
Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Mix until you achieve a smooth batter. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and the remaining cocoa powder (about 6 tablespoons). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
Step 5
Carefully pour the boiling water over the entire mixture in the dish. Do not stir—you want the water to sit on top.
Step 6
Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the cake layer is set and you see the rich fudge sauce bubbling under the surface.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm, scooping both cake and sauce into bowls. Pair with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
