Servings: persons

1 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder, divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, melted, plus more for greasing the pan
2/3 cup milk
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups hot water
Ice cream, for serving

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0 F. Butter an 8x8 squash baking pan or 9-inch cake pan and set aside.
2
Place flour, sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl and whisk. Using an electric mixer, beat in the butter and milk and mix until smooth and lump-free. Pour the batter into the buttered pan and place onto a cookie sheet, just in case the batter bubbles over a bit. Set aside.
3
In a small bowl, using a fork, mix together the remaining 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and the brown sugar. Sprinkle the mixture over top of the cake batter in a flat even layer. Pour the hot water over top and immediately place into the oven.
4
Bake for 30 minutes. The cake should still be jiggly but dry and shiny on top and bubbly around the edges. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool for just a few minutes. Scoop the warm mixture into bowl and top with a scoop of ice cream.
