Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tsp of baking powder, 1 tsp of salt, 1 cup of cocoa powder, 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, and 1 tsp of chili powder. Whisk together until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup of softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the dry mixture and continue mixing until well blended.

Mixing and Baking

  1. 4

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add the 2 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the mixture. Mix until the batter is smooth.

  2. 5

    Fold in Chocolate Chips

    Gently fold in 1 cup of dark chocolate chips to the batter until evenly distributed.

  3. 6

    Prepare Baking Pan

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

  4. 7

    Pour Batter and Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cooling and Serving

  1. 8

    Cool Down

    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

  2. 9

    Slice and Serve

    Once cooled, slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your Now Fearing dessert, which combines a rich chocolate flavor with a hint of spice.
