1 cup All-Purpose four
2 1/4 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

3/4 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
1/4 cup melted buter, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups water
Recipe
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Sift together flour, 3/4 cup sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt over a large bowl. Add milk, 3 tablespoons butter, and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
3. Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat.
4. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in a 375 oven 15 minutes. Place 1 tablespoon melted butter in preheated pan, swirling to evenly coat pan. Add batter, spreading evenly over pan. Pour water mixture slowly over batter; do not stir (mixture will bubble).
5. Bake at 375 for 28 minutes or until cake is set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
