  • 2

    Mix all ingredients (except the last 5) together in a mixing bowl. Quickly pour the batter into the bottom of an ungreased 9x12 inch baking pan, using the back of a large spoon or spatula to even the layer out in the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle chocolate chunks over the top of the batter. Thoroughly mix the last 4 ingredients and gently pour over the top of the batter in the pan.

    Pop the pan into the middle of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cake rises and cracks on top and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
