Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a large baking sheet or a jelly roll pan.

  5. Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Make the frosting: In a saucepan, heat the butter and cocoa until melted. Stir in powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  7. Finish the cake: Pour warm frosting over the baked cake and sprinkle with chocolate chips if desired.

Notes

For a mocha twist, add a teaspoon of espresso powder to the batter. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
