This is one of our favorite desserts, and is incredibly easy. It doesn’t get much better than this combination of warm, gooey chocolate topped off with some cold vanilla ice cream.
-1 c all purpose flour
-2 tsp baking powder
-¼ tsp salt
-7 Tbsp cocoa powder, divided
-1.25 c sugar, divided
-½ c milk
-⅓ c melted butter
-1.5 tsp vanilla extract
-½ c brown sugar
-1.5 c hot tap water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, 3 tablespoons of the cocoa, and 3/4 cup of the white sugar. Reserve the remaining cocoa and sugar.
Stir the milk, melted butter, and vanilla into the flour mixture. Mix until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a greased 8-inch baking dish.
In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 c white sugar, the brown sugar, and remaining 4 tablespoons of cocoa. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
Pour the hot tap water over all. DO NOT STIR!
Bake for about 40 minutes or until the center is set.
Cool for 10 minutes before serving. Top with your favorite vanilla ice cream.
