Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175 °C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

    Carefully stir in 1 cup boiling water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top.
