  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, sift together 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp baking powder.
  5. Step 5: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Step 6: Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks evenly.
  7. Step 7: Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with butter and pour batter in, smoothing the top.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
