Dessert Ingredients

Method

Dessert Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth (the batter will be thin).

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Let the dessert cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
