Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1 cup boiling water

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and smooth.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
5. In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and mini chocolate chips. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
6. Carefully pour the boiling water over the entire mixture in the baking dish. Do not stir. The water will create a pudding layer as the cake bakes.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is set and the cake springs back when touched lightly.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
9. Serve the Half-Hour Pudding Cake warm, scooping it into individual dessert bowls.
10. Optionally, you can garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
