Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of the unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula.
In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
In a measuring cup or small bowl, combine the hot brewed coffee and boiling water. Slowly pour this liquid over the surface of the batter. Do not stir—the liquid will sit on top.
Carefully transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. The top will be set and cake-like, while the bottom will transform into a rich fudgy sauce.
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
Serve warm, spooned into bowls, and optionally top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
