Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Baking Dish

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

Mixing Dry Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Mixing Wet Ingredients

  1. 4

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Combining Mixtures

  1. 5

    Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Baking

  1. 6

    Pour the Batter

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings (Optional)

    If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking.

  3. 8

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Serving

  1. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream on the side if desired.
