Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups boiling water
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup whole milk (for syrup)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.

Step 3

Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the boiling water while mixing on low speed. The batter will be thin; this is normal.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the cake is baking, prepare the chocolate syrup. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 8

Add the sweetened condensed milk and whole milk to the saucepan. Stir continuously until heated through.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.

Step 10

Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes in the pan.

Step 11

Use a wooden skewer or toothpick to poke small holes all over the surface of the warm cake.

Step 12

Slowly pour the warm chocolate syrup over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes for maximum moistness.

Step 13

Let the cake cool completely to room temperature before slicing and serving. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or fresh berries.
