Ingredients:
For the Batter:
- 113 grams unsalted butter (1/2 cup)
- 300 grams granulated sugar (1 1/2 cups)
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 240 grams all-purpose flour (2 cups)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 240 milliliters milk (1 cup)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Topping:
- 400 grams granulated sugar (2 cups)
- 50 grams unsweetened cocoa powder (1/2 cup)
- 720 milliliters boiling water (3 cups)
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven. Once melted, remove it and set it aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, 4 tablespoons cocoa powder, flour, milk, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Spoon this batter over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring.
- In another bowl, mix together the 2 cups sugar and 1/2 cup cocoa powder for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture over the batter in the pan. Carefully pour the boiling water over the topping without stirring.
- Bake the dish for 35-40 minutes until the top sets. The bottom might remain a bit loose and gooey, which is normal.
- Allow the dessert to cool for about 15 minutes before serving. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy your treat!
