Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour*
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar

- 1 1/4 cups Imperial Sugar Dark Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 2 cups hot water

- Combine flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and 3 tablespoons cocoa and whisk until mixed.

- Pour into prepared pan. Mix brown sugar with 1/4 cup cocoa and sprinkle over batter. Pour hot water over entire surface.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes. Spoon out while warm and drizzle extra sauce over the top. Top with Creme Chantilly or homemade vanilla ice cream.
