Pudding and cake. ‘Nuff said.

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk alternative
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups hot water
1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In an 8×8 inch square pan, stir together the flour, white sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa, baking powder and salt. Add milk and oil and mix well. Sprinkle brown sugar, chocolate chips (optional) and remaining cocoa over the mixture. Add the vanilla to the hot water and then pour the water over the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until the surface appears dry. Serve warm with a spoon or at room temperature.

Notes
To make it more cakey, double the flour, sugar, cocoa (in the cake), baking powder, salt, milk alternative and oil.
Adding chocolate chips to the pudding mixture will make creamier pudding.
