Instructions:
- Preheat and Grease: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a cast-iron skillet generously with butter or cooking spray.

- Introduce Boiling Water: Gradually add boiling water to the batter, stirring continuously. The batter will be thin, but this is what will give the cake its moist and rich texture.
- Chocolate Chips Galore: Gently fold in your favorite premium chocolate chips, ensuring an even distribution of chocolatey goodness throughout the batter. 😋

- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the skillet for a bit before slicing. Top each warm slice with a generous scoop of high-quality vanilla ice cream, letting it melt slightly into the warm cake. Pure indulgence! 🤤
- Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with extra chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate syrup if you’re feeling extra indulgent. Serve immediately and revel in the divine combination of warm, gooey chocolate cake and creamy ice cream. 🎉
