In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder (2 tablespoons reserved for later), baking powder, and salt.
Add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined to form the brownie batter.
Spread the batter evenly at the bottom of the bowl.
Sprinkle the top of the batter with the brown sugar and reserved 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder.
Carefully pour the boiling water evenly over the top of the mixture. Do not stir.
Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until the top looks set and the edges begin to pull away from the bowl. Note that the center will still be soft and pudding-like.
Remove from the microwave and allow it to rest for 1-2 minutes.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
