Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 190 grams all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 120 milliliters full-fat milk
• 200 grams chocolate syrup
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x9-inch (22x22 cm) square baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing gently to avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Once the batter is smooth, fold in the chocolate syrup with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder (optional) for a decorative and flavorful touch. Slice into squares and enjoy!
