How to Make Vanilla Crazy Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. In the prepared pan, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Create two wells in the dry ingredients.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract.
  5. Pour ½ cup vegetable oil into one well and the egg mixture into the other well.
  6. Pour 1 cup milk evenly over the dry ingredients.
  7. Gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix!
  8. Fold in ½ cup chopped pecans (optional).
  9. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Sprinkle ½ cup chocolate chips over the warm cake.
  11. Let stand for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy the slightly swirled chocolate chips!
