In 'Luscious Chocolate Desserts' by Lori Longbottom Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar, divided |
6 tablespoons dutch process cocoa powder, divided |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup whole milk |
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted |
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons cocoa nibs (optional) |
1 1/2 cups very hot brewed coffee |
whipped cream, slightly sweetened (or vanilla ice cream) |
Directions:
1. Position oven rack in the middle of the oven; preheat oven to 350°. 2. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. 3. Whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa, the baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; breaking up any large clumps of sugar with your hands. 4. Stir in the milk, butter, and vanilla with a wooden spoon just until blended; the batter will be very thick. 5. Transfer to the baking dish and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. 6. Stir together the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa with a fork in a small bowl; breaking up any large clumps of sugar with your hands. 7. Stir in the nibs, if using; sprinkle the mixture evenly over the batter. 8. Pour the hot coffee evenly over the batter-do not stir. 9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top layer is set and the dessert is beginning to pull away from the sides of the pan; the batter will have separated into cake and pudding layers. 10. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. 11. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature in small bowls, with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired. |
