Method

Dessert Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.

  5. 5

    Add Boiling Water

    Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the dessert to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
