Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's ready for baking.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 0.5 cups of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Whisk together until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat 2 eggs and then add 0.5 cups of milk, 0.25 cups of vegetable oil, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Mix until the wet ingredients are smooth and well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Baking

  1. 5

    Prepare Baking Pan

    Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

  2. 6

    Pour Batter

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

  3. 7

    Bake

    Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  4. 8

    Cool

    Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the dessert to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving

  1. 9

    Prepare to Serve

    Cut the cooled dessert into squares. Optionally, top each square with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and fresh berries for an extra touch.
