Equipment
- 1 9x13 inch baking pan
- 1 mixing bowls
- 1 whisk or spoon
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 oven
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease the 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well with a whisk.
- Add in the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, making sure not to overmix.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Carefully pour the hot water over the batter. Do not stir; this will create a gooey layer at the bottom of the cake while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until the top looks set and is slightly soft.
- Let the cake cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
This cake is best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness. You can also drizzle chocolate syrup on top before serving for an extra chocolatey kick. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds before serving.
