Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (divided)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Packed brown sugar
- 1.5 cups Hot water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and the remaining cocoa powder (6 tablespoons). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
Step 5
Carefully pour the hot water over the top of the entire dish, but do not stir.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top of the cake is set and firm.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for about 15 minutes. During this time, a rich chocolate fudge sauce will form beneath the cake layer.
Step 8
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired, and enjoy!
