Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake Batter:

  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp (15g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder

For the Hot Fudge Sauce:

  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish or a similar-sized pan.
  2. Make the Cake Batter:
    • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
    • Stir in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
    • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the Topping:
    • In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
  4. Add the Hot Fudge Sauce:
    • Slowly pour the hot water over the topping layer. Do not stir—the liquid will sit on top and create the sauce as it bakes.
  5. Bake the Cake:
    • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly puffed. The sauce will be bubbling underneath.
  6. Serve:
    • Let the cake cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Spoon into bowls, making sure to scoop up the gooey fudge sauce. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For a deeper chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to restore the gooey texture.
  • Add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts can be mixed into the batter for extra texture.
