Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (130g)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Hot Fudge Sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed (190g)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (23g)
- 1½ cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9″ pie plate or baking dish with tall sides.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, milk, cocoa powder, oil, baking powder, vanilla, and salt. (The batter will be very thick. Don’t fret! You might need to stir it with a metal spoon.)
- Spread the batter into the prepared pie plate or baking dish.
Hot Fudge Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cocoa powder. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the cake batter in the baking dish.
- Top with the water and place the baking dish on a sheet pan in case it bubbles over.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is dry and puffed.
- Let cool slightly and serve warm with ice cream.
