How to Make Debs

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour batter into a greased 8x8 inch casserole dish.
  5. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder evenly over the top.
  6. Carefully pour 1/2 cup boiling water over the cocoa and sugar topping.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. The cakey top and the delicious chocolate sauce underneath are a match made in heaven!
  9. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or crème fraîche.
