Recipe Information
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
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 1.5 cups boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the top. Do not stir. The water will form a layer on top, which will transform into the sauce as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top of the cake looks set and firm.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. The bottom layer will be a fudgy sauce, while the top will be a soft chocolate cake.
Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
