Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 4 eggs (large)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9-inch bundt pan or two 9-inch round cake pans. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted chocolate mixture until smooth and combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the chocolate mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Pour in the milk and fold it gently into the batter until smooth.

Step 8

Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan (or divide evenly between the two round cake pans) and spread it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake for a fudgy texture.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once cooled, you can dust the top with powdered sugar for a classic look, or serve as is.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy the rich, chocolatey goodness of this brownie cake!
