Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup

    unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 2/3 cup

    sugar

  • 3 cups

    cake flour

  • 2 Tbsp.

    baking powder

  • 1 tsp.

    baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp.

    kosher salt

  • 3

    large eggs

  • 3 cups

    buttermilk

  • 4 Tbsp.

    salted butter, melted, plus more for the pan

  • 1 cup

    semisweet chocolate chips

  • 1 cup

    heavy cream 

  • 6 oz.

    semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

Directions

    1. Step 1Whisk the cocoa powder and sugar in a large bowl to break up any clumps. Whisk in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 
    2. Step 2In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk and melted butter. Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
    3. Step 3Heat a large skillet or griddle over low to medium-low heat and smear a little bit of butter over the surface. Add 1/3-cup scoops of batter to the pan and cook until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the bottom and set in the middle, about 2 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more batter to the pan if necessary. 
    4. Step 4For the chocolate sauce: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until hot but not boiling. Remove from the heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth. Top the pancakes with the chocolate sauce and marshmallows.
