Dessert Recipe

Dessert Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your dessert bakes evenly.

2. 2

   Prepare the Baking Pan

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

3. 3

   Mix Dry Ingredients

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

4. 4

   Combine Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.

5. 5

   Combine Mixtures

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

6. 6

   Add Boiling Water

   Carefully stir in the boiling water to the batter. The batter will be thin; this is normal.

7. 7

   Optional Chocolate Chips

   If using, fold in the chocolate chips to the batter for added richness.

8. 8

   Pour into Baking Pan

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, ensuring it is evenly spread out.

9. 9

   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.

10. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
