Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and lightly butter a 1.5-quart baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder.
  3. In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, mix melted butter, vanilla extract, and half-and half until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chopped walnuts evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the packed light brown sugar and the remaining 1/4 cup cocoa powder.
  8. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cocoa mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
  9. Carefully pour the boiling water over the top of the batter; do not stir.
  10. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is set but the center remains slightly soft.
  11. Serve immediately while hot, allowing the fudge sauce to settle slightly before spooning.
