Instructions
Creating Chocolate Delight can be incredibly satisfying when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended. Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
4. Add Wet to Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until no lumps remain, being careful not to overmix.
5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
6. Pour into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles for serving. Consider adding optional toppings for an extra touch.
