Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.25 cups hot water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch square or round baking dish.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
Step 6
Carefully pour the hot water over the top, ensuring it completely covers the batter and cocoa mixture. Do not stir.
Step 7
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is set and the edges are bubbling.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for about 10 minutes. As it cools, a thick layer of fudge sauce will form at the bottom.
Step 9
Serve warm, spooning some of the cake and fudge sauce onto each plate. Optionally, top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
