Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup boiling water
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready when your batter is prepared.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to distribute everything evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir well until all the ingredients form a consistent batter.
- Incorporate Boiling Water: Carefully stir in the boiling water until fully combined. This step helps create a moist and smooth batter texture.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are well distributed throughout the batter without overmixing.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish to prevent sticking, then pour the batter evenly into the dish.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving to let the flavors set and prevent burning.
Notes
- For extra gooeyness, slightly underbake the cake and check often towards the end of baking time.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Adding a pinch of instant espresso powder to the batter can enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- This cake pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent dessert.
