How to Make A Little Chocolate Cake
- Melt 6 ounces (170g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Let the melted chocolate cool slightly to room temperature.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, beat 1 large egg and ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in ½ cup (120ml) water and ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil until well combined.
- 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.
- Pour the batter into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan.
- Sprinkle ½ cup (60g) chocolate chips over the top.
- 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.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
