Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1.25 cups Boiling water
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 1.5-quart (or similar size) baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder for the topping.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cocoa topping mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the top of the batter, using the back of a spoon to distribute it evenly. Do not stir.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch and a rich sauce has formed underneath.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
