How to Make Easy Delicious Old Fashioned Moist Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan. (Lightly grease with butter, then dust with flour, tapping out any excess.)
  3. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (in order listed below) using a whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan. (The batter will be thinner than most cake batters – this is normal.)
  5. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached (not completely dry).
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto the rack to cool completely.
  7. Once completely cool, frost with your favorite frosting (recipe below) or serve with warm chocolate sauce and ice cream.
  8. **Easy Chocolate Frosting:** In a mixing bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 1 cup melted semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  9. **Simple Chocolate Sauce:** Combine 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
