Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 ½ cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking dish well to ensure easy removal after baking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until combined; the mixture should look consistent without lumps.
- In another bowl, combine melted butter with granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while gently stirring until fully combined; the batter should be thick yet pourable.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, then mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg before sprinkling it generously over the top without mixing it in.
- Carefully pour hot water over everything; do not stir again as this creates the gooey layer underneath during baking.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden brown on top with bubbling edges; you want it set but still soft in some areas.
