Instructions
-
Prepare the Boiling Water: In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil with 3 tablespoons of sugar. Once boiled, set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
-
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir them together until they are well mixed.
-
Add the Wet Ingredients: To the dry mixture, add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined, and you achieve a thick batter.
-
Prepare the Cooking Dish: Lightly butter a 9-inch microwavable dish or any suitable container that can withstand microwave cooking. A slightly smaller pan works just as well.
-
Spread the Batter: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
-
Add the Boiling Water: Carefully and slowly pour the boiling water directly into the center of the batter. Do not stir the mixture; this step is crucial for achieving the pudding-like consistency.
-
Cover and Cook: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid to ensure proper cooking. Microwave on regular power for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, check the cake for doneness; if it is not fully set, return it to the microwave for an additional couple of minutes.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the dish from the microwave and allow it to cool slightly. Sprinkle with powdered sugar for a finishing touch and serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as ice cream, fudge, or whipped cream.
