- 1 cup (150g) plain flour (all-purpose flour)
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 170C/335F (standard) / 150C/305F (fan forced / convection).
-
Grease a 5 – 6 cup baking dish with butter.
-
Topping: Whisk brown sugar and cocoa in a bowl, and set aside.
-
Whisk flour, baking powder, caster sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl.
-
Whisk together the butter and milk in a separate bowl or jug, then whisk in the egg and vanilla.
-
Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture. Mix until combined – it will be a thick batter.
-
Spread into baking dish. Sprinkle with sugar/cocoa mixture. Shake gently to spread out thinly.
-
Carefully pour the hot water over the back of a dessert spoon all over the top of the pudding – see photo in post or video below recipe. (Note 4)
-
Transfer to oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top of the cake springs back when poked lightly. The top will be a bit crusty, like the top of brownies.
-
Remove from oven, stand for just a few minutes (no more!), then serve immediately.
