Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cocoa
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup water, boiling
Optional Ingredient:
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cocoa in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk melted butter, milk, and vanilla into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
- Transfer the batter into a greased 1.5 qt casserole dish, ensuring an even distribution across the bottom of the pan.
- Create a delectable topping by mixing sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cocoa in a separate bowl. Generously sprinkle this dry mixture evenly over the batter without stirring.
- Gently and carefully pour boiling water across the entire surface of the dessert. Resist the urge to mix or disturb the layers.
- Place the dish in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes. Watch for the top to set and a rich, decadent pudding layer to develop underneath the cake-like surface.
- Remove from the oven and let rest briefly. Serve immediately while warm, accompanied by a generous scoop of cold vanilla ice cream to create a delightful temperature contrast.
Notes
- Cocoa Powder Swap experiment with different cocoa powder types for varied flavor intensity and richness.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Temperature Precision ensure oven is accurately calibrated for consistent baking results, using an oven thermometer for reliability.
- Topping Distribution sprinkle dry ingredients gently and evenly to create uniform texture and prevent clumping during baking.
