Dessert Ingredients

Method

Dessert Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is crucial for ensuring your dessert bakes evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until just combined. The batter will be thick.

  5. 5

    Add Boiling Water

    Carefully stir in the boiling water into the batter. The batter will become thin. Make sure there are no lumps.

  6. 6

    Add Chocolate Chips

    Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  7. 7

    Prepare the Baking Pan

    Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking. You can also line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

  8. 8

    Bake

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

  9. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.
