Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1.25 cups boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and spread it out with a spatula.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and the remaining 3/4 cup of granulated sugar. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the batter.
Slowly pour the boiling water over the entire surface of the batter. Do not stir. The hot water will help create the pudding layer as the cake bakes.
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top of the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the cake portion comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. The cake will have a gooey pudding layer underneath the cake portion.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
