Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 units large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups boiling water
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Carefully stir in the boiling water to thin the batter. The mixture will be runny, but this ensures a moist cake.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips to add bursts of chocolate flavor throughout the cake.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar or serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
