Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar Can be substituted with coconut sugar for a Halal-friendly version.
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can be substituted with gluten-free flour.
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Feel free to use white or dark chocolate chips.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Melt the 1 cup of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and 2 cups of granulated sugar until well-blended.
  4. Whisk in the 4 large eggs one at a time, followed by the 1 tsp of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. In another bowl, combine the 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup cocoa powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the greased baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  2. Once baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  3. Cut into squares, serve, and enjoy every bite!

Notes

To store, place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. This cake also freezes beautifully for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.
