Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1.25 cups Boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish or small casserole dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top of the batter in an even layer.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the back of a spoon onto the surface of the batter. Do not stir.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is set but gooey sauce bubbles underneath.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon into bowls, making sure to include both sponge and sauce. Serve warm, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
