Hot Fudge Sundae Dump Cake (just Like Grandma use to make)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In an ungreased 8x8 pan, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons cocoa powder using a fork until mixed.

Add 2 tablespoons of canola or vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of milk to the dry ingredients and stir to combine until moistened.

Smooth the batter into an even layer in the bottom of the pan.

Sprinkle 1 cup of brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cocoa over the brown sugar layer.

Pour 3/4 cup of hot water evenly over the top (using hot tap water).

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Scoop out the cake, ensuring some hot fudge is on top, and serve with ice cream.
