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 Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour your baking dish to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Combine Butter and Chocolate Syrup: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and chocolate syrup thoroughly to create a rich chocolate base.
- Add Eggs and Sugar: Beat in the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is fully blended and has a glossy appearance, which helps with the cake’s structure and sweetness.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder, then add them along with vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which may toughen the cake.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute pockets of gooey chocolate in the batter.
- Pour Batter into Baking Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure consistent baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, indicating a gooey texture inside.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes to set slightly before slicing and serving warm for the best ooey gooey experience.
Notes
- For extra gooeyness, slightly underbake the cake and remove it once a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- You can substitute semisweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
- Make sure to let the cake cool before slicing to avoid crumbling.
- If preferred, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
