Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 200 grams of sugar (plus extra if not adding chocolate)
- 100 ml vegetable oil
- 300 ml milk
- 425 grams of all-purpose flour
- 10 grams baking powder
- 5 grams vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips for topping
Preparation Steps:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (356°F) and ensure it’s well-heated before you begin baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Gradually incorporate the oil and milk, ensuring a smooth mixture.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, baking powder, and vanilla into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, ensuring not to overmix to keep the batter light and airy.
- Prepare the Bowls: Lightly grease six soup bowls with some vegetable oil. Distribute the batter evenly among the bowls, filling them about halfway to allow space for the cake to rise.
- Add Chocolate: Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the batter in each bowl.
- Bake: Place the bowls in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes. If using smaller bowls, check for doneness earlier as they may bake faster.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, perform the toothpick test to ensure they are done. Let the cakes cool to room temperature. Optionally, hollow out the center of each cake, fill with additional melted chocolate, and replace the removed cake piece on top.
Enjoy these delightful bowl cakes, served warm for a comforting treat that’s sure to please any dessert lover!
