Preheat your oven to 180°C. Lightly grease and flour four ramekins or small baking molds.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and milk powder. Whisk them together until well combined.

Gradually add the hot water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a thick, smooth batter forms. Set this batter aside.

In a separate heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together using a microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring after each) or a double boiler until smooth.

To the melted chocolate and butter mixture, add the brown sugar. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or whisk until the sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

Pour the thick batter (from step 3) into the melted chocolate and sugar mixture (from step 5). Mix both mixtures together thoroughly until a uniform, rich chocolate batter is formed.

Divide the combined batter evenly among the prepared ramekins or baking molds.
Bake the choco lava cakes in the preheated oven at 180°C for exactly 6 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still be jiggly, indicating a molten core.

Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven. Let them cool for 1-2 minutes before inverting onto serving plates, or serve directly from the ramekins. Enjoy immediately while warm to experience the molten chocolate center.
