For an even richer chocolate flavor, try using dark cocoa powder. Be careful when pouring the boiling water; pour slowly and evenly to avoid disturbing the sugar mixture on top. If the top of the cake starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely cover it with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking. This cake is best served warm, but it can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
In a 9-inch square baking pan, whisk together the flour, white sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. (2 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. (3 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar and the remaining ¼ cup of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cake batter in the pan. (2 minutes)
05
Step
1 mins
Carefully pour the boiling water over the batter. Do not stir. The water will create the pudding layer as it bakes. (1 minute)
06
Step
40 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until the cake springs back lightly when touched in the center. A toothpick inserted into the cake portion should come out clean. (40 minutes)
07
StepLet the cake cool slightly before serving. The pudding layer will thicken as it cools. Serve warm, as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
