Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Instant coffee granules
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1.25 cups Boiling water
• 0 Optional: Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or casserole dish lightly with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined, forming a thick batter.

Step 4

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and the brown sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.

Step 6

Dissolve the instant coffee granules in the boiling water, then gently pour the coffee mixture over the top of the layers in the dish. Do not stir—this liquid will sink to the bottom to create the pudding layer while baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top of the cake looks set and firm. The cake will have a gooey sauce layer underneath.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. The pudding layer will thicken slightly as it cools.

Step 9

Spoon the cake and sauce onto plates or bowls, and serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
