Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking.

  2. 2

    Prepare Baking Pan

    Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 4

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. 6

    Add Nuts

    If using, fold in the chopped nuts at this stage.

Baking

  1. 7

    Pour Batter

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

  2. 8

    Bake

    Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Serving

  1. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Once cool, dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream and fresh berries if desired.
