Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder divided
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar and the remaining 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Sprinkle evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
- Pour hot water evenly over the top. Do not stir.
- Place the baking dish on a baking sheet (to catch any potential overflow) and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are bubbling.
- Serve warm. Scoop the cake and sauce into bowls. Optional: serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Ensure not to stir the sauce once poured over the batter; it creates a delightful fudge layer during baking.
- The cake is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven for its warm, gooey texture.
