Ingredients
Converted amounts are rounded.
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9" x 13" baking pan by greasing it well.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar. Return the pan to low heat and warm the mixture until it's hot but not boiling, stirring until it becomes shiny. This second heating helps dissolve more sugar for a crackly top.
- Pour the warm sugar mixture into a mixing bowl. Add the cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract, then stir to combine.
- Whisk in the eggs one at a time until the batter is smooth.
- Gently fold in the flour and chocolate chips until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. The edges should be set, and the center should appear moist but cooked. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
💡 Tips
- For an even richer flavor, you can add an extra half cup of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate to the batter.
- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter consistency.
