How to Make In Pan Chocolate Cake

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
In the prepared pan, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
Add the eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix with a fork until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour in the melted chocolate chips and stir gently to incorporate.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar.
