Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour or sub all-purpose
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp + 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder divided
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 3/4 cup hot water
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, 2 tbsp cocoa, baking powder, salt, milk, oil and vanilla. Batter will be very thick — don’t fear. You might need to stir with a metal spoon.
-
Spread batter into a greased 9″ pie plate or square pan (*Note: make sure your pan has tall sides, otherwise your cake might run over a bit.)
-
Combine brown sugar and ¼ cup cocoa. Spread over batter.
-
Top with hot water (I use freshly boiled). Bake for about 30-35 minutes until top is dry and puffed. (*Note: put a cookie sheet underneath your pan in the oven, just in case a little spills over).
-
Serve warm with ice cream.
