Now, let’s dive into the fun part — baking! Follow these steps to bring your dessert to life:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the dessert dense.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remember, the key to a perfect bake is to not overdo it!
8. Allow the dessert to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Just like my abuela taught me, cooking is all about using your senses. Listen for the gentle crackle of the oven, and let the rich aroma guide you to the perfect bake.
