Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Chocolate syrup
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
Add-ins
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line your baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Combine Butter and Chocolate Syrup: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and chocolate syrup, stirring until smooth to form the base of the batter.
- Add Eggs and Sugar: Mix in the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is fully blended and has a glossy appearance, ensuring the sugar dissolves well.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder, then add them along with the vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the batter to distribute them evenly without breaking them down.
- Pour and Spread Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The cake is done when the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. This allows the cake to set slightly, enhancing the gooey texture when served.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate syrup for a deeper chocolate flavor.
- Do not overbake to preserve the gooey center.
- For a more intense chocolate experience, chill the cake after cooling and serve slightly warmed.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent dessert.
