1️⃣ Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until slightly pale and well combined.
-
Add the oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
2️⃣ Combine with Dry Ingredients
-
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda.
-
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.

Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the surface.
4️⃣ Bake
-
Bake for 35–45 minutes.

Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
-
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
