Instructions
1.
Mix the Batter:
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until slightly frothy (about 1 minute).
- Add milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until smooth.
- Optional: Fold in chocolate chips for extra gooeyness.

Cook It FAST:
Option A: Skillet Method (Stovetop – 10–12 mins total)
- Lightly grease a non-stick skillet (with a lid) and pour the batter in.
- Cover with a lid and cook over low heat for 10–12 minutes, until the center is just set.
- Don’t flip it—it’s more like a baked pancake or stovetop brownie cake.
Option B: Microwave (5–7 mins total)
- Pour batter into a microwave-safe dish or mug.
- Microwave on high for 3–5 minutes depending on power and portion size.
- Check for doneness with a toothpick (some gooeyness is okay!).
Option C: Oven (15 mins total)
- Pour batter into a greased 8-inch pan or baking dish.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 12–15 minutes, just until set but still soft.
