Ingredients:

  • 125g all-purpose flour
  • 150g granulated sugar
  • 30g unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 10g baking powder
  • 2g salt
  • 120ml whole milk
  • 60g unsalted butter, melted
  • 5ml vanilla extract
  • 90g semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 100g light brown sugar, packed
  • 30g unsweetened cocoa powder (for topping)
  • 300ml boiling water

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, 30g of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Stir in the whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the dough texture is thick and smooth.
  3. Fold in the 90g semi sweet chocolate chips gently.
  4. Spread the batter evenly into your ungreased 2 liter baking dish.
  5. In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar and the remaining 30g of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this dry mixture evenly over the entire surface of the batter.
  6. Carefully pour the 300ml of boiling water over the entire mixture. Do not stir. The water will sit on top and react with the sugars during baking.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes until the center is set but the edges are bubbling.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
