Ingredients

  • The Cake Base:
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour (White Lily recommended)
  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 2 tbsp Butter, melted
  • 1 oz Semi-sweet baker's chocolate, melted
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
  • The Topping:
  • 1 cup Brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa powder
  • 1 3/4 cups Boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Melt the 1 oz of chocolate and 2 tbsp of butter together (chop the chocolate small first so it melts easily!). Stir in the milk and vanilla.
  4. Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Fold in the chopped nuts if you're using them.
  5. Spread: Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
  6. The Fudgy Secret: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cocoa powder until well blended. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the raw batter.
  7. Add Water: Carefully pour the boiling water over the entire top. Do not stir!
  8. Bake: Bake for 45 minutes. The top will be cake-like, while a thick chocolate fudge sauce forms underneath.
  9. Serve: Let it cool for just a few minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm. Be sure to spoon that extra fudge from the bottom of the pan over the top!

Notes

Pro Tip: This is best served warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!
