Ingredients 

Cake Batter

• 1 cup plain flour 
• 2 tsp baking powder 
• ½ cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
• 3 Tbsp cocoa powder 
• ½ cup milk 
• 1 egg 
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 85g Olivani spread (melted and cooled slightly) (no way are we using butter in this economy)

Sauce

• ¾ cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
• 3 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 ¼ cup boiling water

Method 

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C on the bake or fanbake setting.
2. In a large bowl, mix your dry cake ingredients (flour, baking powder, brown sugar and cocoa powder) until combined. Place to one side.
3. In a separate small bowl, beat your egg, ½ cup of milk, and vanilla essence together until combined. Slowly pour in your melted Olivani and beat together with a fork. 
4. Pour the milk-egg-Olivani mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the cake batter into the bottom of a baking dish, you want it to be around 5cm deep with room to rise in the oven.
5. From here, move onto the sauce mixture. Begin by combining the brown sugar and cocoa powder. Sprinkle the dry mix of sugar and cocoa powder over the cake batter in the baking dish.
6. Carefully pour the boiling water over top of the cake, using the back of a spoon to pour it over.
7. Place into the oven and cook for 35 mins or until the centre of the cake is firm and bouncy to the touch.

Serve hot with ice cream or cream!
