Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Add eggs, whole milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until combined.
- Fold the melted chocolate into the batter gently using a rubber spatula. Avoid overmixing.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream and berries before slicing and serving.
