Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prep: Preheat oven to 350∘F(175∘C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
Step 2: Make Brownie Batter:
Whisk together flour, 21 cup cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Cream together melted butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: Create Fudge Center (The Magic):
Evenly sprinkle the brown sugar and 41 cup cocoa powder over the top of the brownie batter.
Slowly pour the boiling water over the entire mixture. DO NOT STIR.
Step 4: Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges of the top brownie layer are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Step 5: Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. The fudge sauce will be runny at first but will thicken as it cools.
