Pre heat the oven to 400*

You can either prepare the batter in a blender, or with a bowl and a whisk. I tend to find that I get more rise  with my Dutch baby if I hand whisk in a bowl.

Place the eggs in a bowl or mixer  and whisk. Add the vanilla, gel food coloring, flour, cocoa powder, sugar and milk. Whisk or blend until combined. Do not over mix in the blender.

Heat up a 10 inch cast iron skillet on the stove top, melt the butter in the hot pan. Slowly pour the butch baby batter into the skillet. Let sit on the stove top a minute or two then remove to the hot oven. Bake in the oven until the pancake is puffed up on the sides and starts to brown, 20 – 25 minutes. 

Bring out of the oven and let cool just a little bit, place a big scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center and give a good drizzle of chocolate sauce..
