Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Light brown sugar (packed)
• 1.5 cups Hot water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter.

Step 7

Gently pour the hot water over the back of a spoon onto the batter. Do not stir; the water will create the pudding layer as it bakes.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. The pudding layer will thicken slightly as it cools.

Step 10

Serve warm, spooning pudding from the bottom of the dish over each slice. Optionally, top with whipped cream or ice cream.
