  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa, baking powder and salt.

  2. Whisk remaining cocoa with brown sugar and spread over batter. Slowly pour hot coffee or water on top. Do not mix.
  3. Place pan in oven and bake 35 to 40 minutes, until batter appears set and sauce is bubbling. Remove to a rack and let rest 15 minutes. To serve, scoop portions into goblets or onto plates and top each with ice cream.
