Chocolate Or Vanilla Large Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature by the time you're ready to bake.

2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder (if making chocolate), baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. 3

   Combine Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until the mixture is smooth. If you're making the vanilla version, add the vanilla extract to this mixture.

4. 4

   Combine Mixtures

   Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. 5

   Add Chocolate Chips

   If you're preparing the chocolate version, gently fold in the chocolate chips into the batter.

6. 6

   Prepare Baking Pan

   Grease and flour a large baking pan (9x13 inch) or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

7. 7

   Pour Batter

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

8. 8

   Bake

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

9. 9

   Cool and Serve

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