Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup boiling water
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the batter to ensure even baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these together until well blended for an even texture in your cake.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and uniform without any lumps.
- Incorporate boiling water: Slowly add the boiling water to the batter, mixing carefully to combine. This step helps create a moist, gooey texture in the cake.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter to distribute them evenly without breaking them down, ensuring pockets of melted chocolate in every bite.
- Prepare baking dish and pour batter: Grease a baking dish to prevent sticking, then pour the batter evenly into the dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake the cake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean, indicating the cake is done.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving to enjoy its perfect ooey gooey texture.
Notes
- Use boiling water carefully and add it slowly to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely if used in variations.
- For extra richness, consider adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Substitute the vegetable oil with melted butter for a slightly different texture and flavor if preferred.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Reheat slightly before serving to bring back the gooey texture.
