Calories: 282kcal
Equipment
- 8" cake pan
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉ and grease an 8" cake pan.
- Melt butter and chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
- Stir in sugar.
- Add the eggs and mix.
- Stir in cocoa powder.
- Pour the batter into greased cake pan and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then flip out onto a plate, and carefully flip from the plate onto a cooling rack (this keeps the top of the cake crackly and shiny).
- Serve warm with ice cream, or cool completely and dust with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream.
- Slice and indulge!
Notes
To make the cake release from the pan easily, spray the cake pan with non-stick spray, press a circle of parchment paper onto the bottom of the pan, and then spray the parchment with non-stick spray.
For a thicker cake, use a smaller cake pan and increase the bake time.
For a square cake, use an 8x8 baking dish. The bake time does not need to be adjusted.
