Dessert Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the batter

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Combine wet ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix together

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Slowly stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. Fold in chocolate chips.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  5. 5

    Cool and serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve slices topped with whipped cream and fresh berries.
