Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch cake pan with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until smooth.
Step 4
Carefully pour in the boiling water and mix on low speed until fully incorporated. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
Step 5
Fold in 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of chocolate chips over the top of the batter for added texture and chocolate flavor.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are fine, but it shouldn't be wet).
Step 9
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve as-is, or top with ice cream, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch. Enjoy!
