Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk 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 and well combined. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar with the remaining cocoa powder (about 4 tablespoons). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.

Step 5

Carefully pour the boiling water over the topping mixture, ensuring you do not stir it. The water will create the fudgy sauce as the cake bakes.

Step 6

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top appears set and the cake has risen.

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. As it cools, the thick chocolate sauce will settle at the bottom of the dish.

Step 8

Serve warm, spooning the pudding-like fudge sauce from the bottom over each portion. Pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat!
