Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 1.5 cups boiling water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.

Step 5

Carefully pour the boiling water over the top. Do not stir. The water will form a layer on top, which will transform into the sauce as it bakes.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top of the cake looks set and firm.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. The bottom layer will be a fudgy sauce, while the top will be a soft chocolate cake.

Step 8

Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
