Instructions
Step 1
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
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
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
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
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.

- What if my batter is too thick?
If your batter seems too thick, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a smooth consistency.
- How can I tell when my biscuits are done baking?
Insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, your biscuits are done. They should also spring back when lightly pressed.
