Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the sugar mixture and beat until fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

Flavoring and Mixing

  1. 6

    Add Cocoa Powder

    Sift the cocoa powder into the batter and fold gently until fully incorporated.

  2. 7

    Stir in Nuts and Chocolate Chips

    Gently fold in the chopped nuts and semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Baking

  1. 8

    Pour and Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  2. 9

    Cool the Cake

    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Topping Preparation

  1. 10

    Make Whipped Cream

    In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

  2. 11

    Drizzle Melted Chocolate

    Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the top and dollop the whipped cream on each slice before serving.
