Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking pan.
Ca. 2 min.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
Ca. 3 min.
Kokkens note: Sifting the dry ingredients will help prevent lumps in the final batter.

In a separate medium bowl or large measuring cup, combine the hot water and melted unsalted butter.
Ca. 1 min.
- 4
Add the large eggs and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk until smooth.
Ca. 1 min.
- 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Ca. 1 min.
- 6
Mix with a whisk until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks remain, but be careful not to overmix. The batter will be thin.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tougher cake.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Ca. 1 min.
