- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until a smooth batter forms.
- Prepare batter: Pour the batter into an ungreased 8×8-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
- Make topping: In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and remaining 1/4 cup cocoa powder, then sprinkle evenly over the batter.
- Add hot water: Slowly pour the hot water over the top without stirring.
- Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is set but the bottom is still gooey and sauce-like.
- Cool and serve: Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Spoon into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Don’t stir after adding the hot water—this creates the self-saucing effect.
