Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, instant espresso powder, and salt.
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cocoa powder (from the topping ingredients). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
Stir the instant espresso powder into the boiling water until dissolved, then carefully pour this liquid over the batter and topping. Do not stir.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is set but still slightly gooey underneath.
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes. As it cools, a luscious mocha fudge sauce will form underneath the cake layer.
Serve warm, spooned into bowls with sauce drizzled over the top. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired for extra indulgence.
