Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (50g) cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan. Measure out all ingredients carefully to ensure smooth mixing later.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: Melt the butter and stir in the sugar until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract next, beating the mixture until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
  4. Bring Wet and Dry Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until no flour streaks remain. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly so they create gooey pockets of melted chocolate throughout the cake.
  6. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until set but still moist in the center. Let the cake cool completely before cutting to stabilize the gooey texture.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • Do not overbake; the center should remain slightly soft to preserve the gooey texture.
  • Use room temperature eggs and butter to help ingredients blend smoothly.
  • A glass or dark-colored pan helps the cake bake evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool fully in the pan for perfect texture.
