Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 120 milliliters full-fat milk
- 200 grams chocolate syrup
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x9-inch (22x22 cm) square baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing gently to avoid overmixing.
Once the batter is smooth, fold in the chocolate syrup with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder (optional) for a decorative and flavorful touch. Slice into squares and enjoy!
