How to Make A Chocolate Syrup Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate syrup until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting or glazing.
- Once cool, drizzle with your favorite chocolate glaze (see optional glaze recipe below).
- 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.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
