Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the butter pieces in a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it in the oven while it heats. Watch closely and remove once the butter has melted.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and chocolate chips until evenly mixed.
  3. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until a thick batter forms.
Baking
  1. Spoon the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish, spreading it into an even layer without mixing.
  2. In another bowl, mix the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for the topping and sprinkle it evenly over the batter.
  3. Slowly pour the hot coffee or boiling water over the surface without stirring.
  4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the top looks set and crisp, allowing a pool of chocolate sauce to form beneath.
  5. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For a deeper chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips. To store, cover leftovers and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days or freeze portions for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
