Extra Sides/Dessert Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Batter

    Add in the water and mix until the batter is smooth.

  6. 6

    Bake the Dessert

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

  7. 7

    Make the Frosting

    In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix it with the powdered sugar, adding a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.

  8. 8

    Frost and Serve

    Once the dessert is cool, spread the frosting over the top and cut into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
