Scale
Cake:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the pudding layer:

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the cake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; stir until just combined. Spread the batter in the baking dish.
- Make the pudding layer: In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar with hot water and vanilla extract until dissolved. Gently pour over the batter without stirring.
- Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden and the cake is set but soft and pudding-like underneath. Let cool before serving warm.
