Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Slowly stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal and contributes to the cake's moist texture.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, slice and serve as is or with your favorite frosting or toppings for added indulgence.
