Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar substitute, 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until a smooth batter forms. Spread this batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar substitute and an additional 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
Carefully pour the hot water over the top of the batter. Do not stir—the liquid should remain on top.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. The pudding will form a cake-like layer on top with a thick, fudgy layer underneath.
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm, spooning the pudding and fudge layers into bowls. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a small sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa powder.
