Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each griddle cake, spreading it slightly to form an even circle.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the griddle cakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
To make the chocolate sauce, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until it begins to simmer (do not boil).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chopped chocolate and powdered sugar. Let it sit for 2 minutes to melt, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
Serve the griddle cakes warm, drizzled generously with the chocolate sauce.
