Brownie Pudding

adapted slightly from a recipe on Tasty Kitchen, which was taken from an old 1950s-era General Foods Kitchen recipe.

½ cup Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
⅓ cup Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Dark Cocoa
2 Tablespoons cocoa
¼ cup Milk
1 Tablespoon Melted Butter
½ teaspoon Vanilla
½ cup Brown Sugar
¾ cup Boiling Water

Mix flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, and one tablespoon cocoa. Then add the milk, butter, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and spread in the greased 9-inch square baking dish. Mix the brown sugar and the remaining two tablespoons of cocoa together then sprinkle over the batter. Pour the boiling water over the top. This makes a chocolate sauce at the bottom when done cooking.

*optional: add ½ chocolate chips before pouring boiling water over top.

Bake at 350F for thirty to forty minutes, then cool before serving.
