Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in milk and vanilla extract.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Prepare the “Night” Layer:
In a small bowl, whisk together cocoa powder and hot water until smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar and egg. Stir in cooled cocoa mixture, milk, and vanilla extract.
Gently pour the chocolate batter over the “Day” layer in the pan.
Bake:
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
Tips & Variations:
Decorate: Frost with chocolate ganache, powdered sugar, or fresh berries.
Flavor Variations: Add different extracts (almond, orange) to the “Day” layer. Try different types of cocoa powder for the “Night” layer.
Make it easier: Use a boxed cake mix for either the “Day” or “Night” layer.
