Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself, this cake promises to deliver maximum chocolate delight. Here’s how to make it.

Ingredients

Cake:

  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (63 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup (100 g) whole milk
  • ¼ cup (55 g) vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (118 g) warm water, or warm brewed coffee

Frosting:

  • 1 cup (168 g) milk chocolate chips
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper and lightly greasing it to ensure the cake comes out easily.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: To the dry mix, add the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Start mixing on low to combine, then switch to medium speed and mix for 2 minutes until you have a smooth, well-incorporated batter.
  4. Incorporate Warm Liquid: Gradually stir in the warm water or coffee. This will make your batter thin, but it’s the secret to the cake’s moist texture.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared dish and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  6. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This ensures the cake doesn’t become soggy.
  7. Make the Frosting: While the cake is cooling, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between. Mix the melted chocolate with sour cream and vanilla extract until you get a smooth and creamy frosting.
  8. Frost the Cake: Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Let it set for a few minutes before slicing.
