Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Mix the cake batter: In a medium bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; stir until smooth. Pour into the baking dish and spread evenly.
Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar and cocoa powder. Sprinkle over the batter.
Add hot water: Carefully pour hot water over the mixture without stirring.
Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is set but a fudgy sauce bubbles underneath.
Serve: Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

The cake creates its own fudge sauce on the bottom as it bakes—don’t stir after adding the hot water.
You can add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
