How to Make Milk Chocolate Snack Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with ½ cup water, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped nuts.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While the cake is still warm, sprinkle the remaining ½ cup chocolate chips over the top.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate chips to melt slightly and become glossy.
  11. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving.
