How to Make A Little Chocolate Cake

  1. Melt 6 ounces (170g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  2. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly to room temperature.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 1 large egg and ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in ½ cup (120ml) water and ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil until well combined.
  6. Gently stir in the cooled melted chocolate. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt) and gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan.
  8. Sprinkle ½ cup (60g) chocolate chips over the top.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
