Ingredients

• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.125 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 1 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder (for topping)
• 0.5 cups Hot water

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl or dish (16-20 oz capacity), mix together the flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until smooth to form a thick batter.

Step 3

Spread the batter evenly in the bottom of the bowl or dish.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cocoa powder for the topping. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.

Step 5

Carefully pour the hot water over the top. Do NOT stir. The water will create a sauce on the bottom as it cooks.

Step 6

Microwave the dessert on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s wattage, until the cake is puffed and the sauce is bubbling underneath.

Step 7

Let the dish cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. The top will have a soft cake texture, and the bottom will be a rich, fudgy sauce.

Step 8

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
