1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add egg, milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir until just combined.
4. Pour batter into the prepared dish.
5. Make the fudge layer: In a small saucepan, combine butter, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and milk. Bring to a boil and stir 1 minute until smooth.
6. Carefully pour hot fudge mixture over the batter (do not stir—it will sink and create pockets of sauce).
7. Slowly pour boiling water over everything (do not mix).
8. Bake 35–40 minutes, until cake is set and top is crackled.
9. Serve hot right from the oven, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream—the fudge sauce will pool deliciously!
