Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for topping)
- 1.25 cups hot water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cake batter in the baking dish.
Carefully pour the hot water evenly over the top of the mixture without stirring.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top of the cake looks set and the pudding layer is bubbling underneath.
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for about 10 minutes to allow the pudding to thicken slightly.
Serve warm, scooping portions to include both the cake and pudding layers. Optionally, top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
