Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Chocolate syrup
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
Mix-ins
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line your baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and chocolate syrup until smooth and well mixed.
- Incorporate eggs and sugar: Add the eggs and granulated sugar to the butter and chocolate mixture, mixing until fully blended and a glossy texture forms.
- Add dry ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract, then gently fold these into the wet mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the batter to distribute pockets of gooey chocolate throughout.
- Transfer and spread batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs, indicating a gooey center.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to set and enhance its texture.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate syrup and semisweet chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- Do not overbake; the center should remain moist and gooey.
- You can serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Ensure the baking dish is adequately greased or lined to prevent sticking.
