Ingredients

Bottom Layer

  • 1 cup flour (130 grams)
  • ¾ cup sugar (150 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons good quality unsweetened cocoa powder (10-12 grams)

Middle Layer

  • ½ cup milk (114 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter (42 grams)
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Top Layer

  • ½ cup sugar 100 grams
  • ½ cup brown sugar 100 grams
  • ¼ cup good quality unsweetened cocoa powder again
  • 1 ½ cups boiling hot water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-inch or a 9-inch square pan or a small casserole dish.
  • In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and 2 tablespoons of the cocoa powder.
  • Combine the milk, butter, and vanilla in a large glass measuring cup. Pour over flour mixture and stir just until combined (don't beat). Scrape batter into the pan.
  • Mix the remaining sugar, brown sugar and cocoa powder together and sprinkle over the top. Pour the boiling water over all. Set on center rack and bake 35-45 minutes. A wider pan such as a 9-inch square should take around 35 while the 8-inch pan takes between 40 and 45.
