Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup non-dairy milk (almond or oat works well)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for the fudge layer)
- 1 ½ cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
- Add in the non-dairy milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cake batter in the baking dish.
- Finally, carefully pour the hot water over the top of the entire baking dish. Do not mix; the water will create a fudge sauce as it bakes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft and fudgy.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy every decadent bite!
