Ingredients
Scale
Cake:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
For Dusting:
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper. - Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Mix Sugars: Stir in the granulated sugar into the melted butter until well combined.
- Add Eggs: Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Chocolate Chips: If you’re using chocolate chips, gently fold them in at this point for an extra chocolatey experience.
- Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool: After baking, remove the pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes. Remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Dust with Sugar: Once the cake is cool, dust the top lightly with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
