Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar divided
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder divided
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk ½ cup sugar with ¼ cup cocoa powder and set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, remaining ½ cup sugar, remaining ¼ cup cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk milk, butter, egg yolk, and vanilla in medium bowl until smooth. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips (batter will be stiff).
  • Using a rubber spatula, scrape batter into prepared pan and spread out evenly. Sprinkle reserved cocoa and sugar mixture evenly over the top. Gently pour boiling water over cocoa. Do not stir.
  • Bake cake until the top of the cake is cracked, sauce is bubbling, and a toothpick inserted into cakey area comes out mostly clean, about 22 to 24 minutes. Cool on rack for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
