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.
