How to Make Cocoa Float

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder.
  3. Sift the dry ingredients again for a smoother batter.
  4. Add 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the bowl.
  5. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  6. Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  7. In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder.
  8. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cocoa mixture evenly over the batter in the prepared casserole dish.
  9. Carefully pour 1 cup of boiling water over the top of the mixture.
  10. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving warm or cold. Enjoy by itself, or with milk, cream, or ice cream!
