Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square or round baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.

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. Mix until well combined and a smooth batter forms.

Step 4

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.

Step 6

Dissolve the instant coffee granules in the boiling water. Pour the coffee mixture evenly over the cake batter and topping without stirring.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top of the cake looks set but is still slightly springy to the touch. The pudding layer underneath will still be liquidy.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for 5-10 minutes. The pudding layer will thicken slightly during this time.

Step 9

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly indulgent treat.
