How to Make A Chocolate Syrup Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chocolate syrup until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting or glazing.
  9. Once cool, drizzle with your favorite chocolate glaze (see optional glaze recipe below).
  10. Optional Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk and 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate. Whisk until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cake.
