Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

  3. Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

  4. Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

  6. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top if desired for a more decadent finish.

  7. Slowly pour the boiling water over the batter. Do not mix. The water will create a rich, gooey sauce as the cake bakes.

  8. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is set and the top is slightly firm to the touch.

  9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken as it cools, creating a luscious chocolate topping.
