Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to bake your sfumato evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare Baking Pan

    Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Mixing the Batter

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 4

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

  3. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. 6

    Add Cocoa Powder

    Sift in the cocoa powder and fold gently into the batter to achieve a marbled effect.

  5. 7

    Incorporate Chocolate Chips

    Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.

Baking and Finishing Touches

  1. 8

    Bake the Sfumato

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  2. 9

    Cool and Dust

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar for a beautiful presentation.
