Instructions:

Oven Prelude: Kickstart your culinary adventure by preheating the oven to a toasty 325°F.

Chocolate Elixir: In a medium pot, let the magic begin by mixing the organic blue agave syrup, unsweetened cocoa powder, milk, and two tablespoons of chocolate chips. Heat this enticing concoction under medium heat until the cocoa and syrup dance in harmony. Remove it from the heat and introduce the butter and vanilla into the mix. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes.

Flour Fusion: Now, bring flour and egg whites into the mix. Beat them together with a mixer until they become a harmonious, silky-smooth blend.

Pan Play: Prepare for the grand performance by lightly spraying a 9-inch round baking pan with cooking spray. Now, place half of your chocolatey concoction into the pan. Sprinkle 4 tablespoons of chocolate chips on top, and then gently pour the other half of the mixture. As you pour, watch the chocolate chips strategically find their places on the sides. Sneak in another tablespoon of chocolate chips in the middle and give it a gentle push under the mixture.

Baking Symphony: The stage is set! Place the pan in the pre-heated oven and let it bake for about 12 minutes – until the center is set and ready for the spotlight.

Cooling Interlude: As your masterpiece emerges from the oven, allow it to cool for 10 minutes. It's just long enough to create that anticipation for the grand reveal.

Unveil and Delight: Gently invert your creation onto a plate. The moment of bliss has arrived!
