Instructions

Step 1

Preparing the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. This process ensures that all dry ingredients are well combined and removes any lumps.

Step 2

Mixing the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and milk until they are well combined. Make sure to whisk vigorously to incorporate some air, as this will help in making the biscuit light.

Step 3

Combining Ingredients

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring gently. Use a spatula to fold the mixture until just combined; be careful not to overmix as this might make the biscuit tough. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.

Step 4

Baking the Biscuit

Preheat your oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Grease and line a baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, leveling it with a spatula. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 5

Cooling and Serving

Allow the biscuit to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. You can serve it plain or decorate it with icing or frosting as desired. For an extra touch, try adding some fruit or whipped cream on top.

Servings

For the ultimate experience, **serve your chocolate biscuits warm** with a side of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream 🍦. You can also drizzle them with warm chocolate sauce for decadent enjoyment! Consider pairing them with fresh fruits like strawberries 🍓 or bananas 🍌, creating a delightful contrast of flavors and textures! For a festive touch, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top before serving. Invite your friends over for a delightful tea party and surprise them with these indulgent treats—they won’t be able to resist! 🎉
