Ingredients
- Baking spray, for pan
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
- 2 4-ounce bars of bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
- Rich Chocolate Frosting
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- Step 2Pulse chocolate, cereal, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a food processor until chocolate is finely chopped, 10 to 12 times.
- Step 3Beat butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition. Beat in vanilla bean paste. Reduce speed to low and beat in flour mixture and milk alternately, starting and ending with flour mixture, just until flour is incorporated. Pour half of batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle chocolate mixture evenly over batter and top with remaining batter.
- Step 4Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
