Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • 9x13 inch Baking Dish

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder, divided 1/4 cup for batter, 1/4 cup for topping
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 1/2 cups hot water

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position a rack in the center of the oven so the top cooks evenly.
  • Pour the melted butter into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly over the bottom.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the whole milk, vanilla extract, and 1 1/2 cups sugar until the mixture is smooth.
  • Add 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Whisk until just combined.
  • Gently spoon the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder with the light brown sugar. Sprinkle this mixture over the batter.
  • Carefully pour the hot water over the top of the pan without stirring.
  • Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is set and looks dry.
  • Let cool slightly before serving with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra decadence.
