Ingredients
- ¾ cups granulated sugar divided
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder divided
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp table salt
- ½ cup whole milk
- ⅓ cup salted butter melted
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 ¼ cups very strong brewed hot coffee decaf is fine
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F with rack on middle position.
- In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, flour, 1/4 cup cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Stir in milk, butter, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Pour batter into ungreased 8-inch square baking pan or similar sized pan.
- In a bowl, stir together the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and remaining 1/4 cup cocoa. Sprinkle mixture even over the batter in pan. Pour the hot coffee evenly over the top - coffee will be a liquid layer on top. Do NOT stir.
- Bake 35-40 minutes or until center is almost set. The top should have formed a nice top crust. However, a toothpick inserted in center should reveal a molten or melty center.
- Remove from oven, let sit for 15 minutes, and serve warm. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream. Leftovers can be covered and reheated in microwave.
