Ingredients

Scale
  • 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 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (118 g) warm water, or warm brewed coffee
  • 1 cup (168 g) milk chocolate chips
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) if using a glass or ceramic baking dish. For a metal pan, set the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides and bottom.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until combined, then increase to medium and mix for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the warm water or coffee until fully incorporated. The batter will be thin.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs but no wet batter.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted.
  8. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  9. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
  • This cake pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
