Simple Chocolate Chip Snack Cake

This straightforward chocolate chip snack cake takes simply minutes to throw collectively. It’s so fluffy and moist. Good for a fast dessert or enjoyable snack!

You’d by no means know this tasty little cake is egg- and butter-free! I used to be first launched to this model of “wacky” cake years in the past with this yummy chocolate model. I’m completely satisfied to report that this chocolate chip variation is simply as fantastic.

Chocolate Chip Snack Cake Batter

This recipe is exclusive in that the recipe does not embody eggs. However it does embody vinegar. (Don’t fear, you may’t style it!)

Within the absence of eggs, the vinegar reacts with the baking soda to assist the cake rise.

This “wacky” cake methodology was born in the course of the Despair-era when loads of substances, like eggs and butter, have been rationed or unavailable. Ingenuous bakers discovered a strategy to make scrumptious cake with primary, day-after-day substances.

The ensuing cake is extremely fluffy and scrumptious!

Particulars on Baking Pan

This cake bakes in an 8×8-inch baking pan. An aluminum or glass baking pan can be utilized.

If utilizing a glass pan, scale back the oven temperature to 325 levels F and keep watch over the time, including a couple of minutes, if wanted.

If you wish to make the cake in a 9X13-inch pan, I’d recommend doubling the recipe (or 1 1/2-ing the recipe for a barely thinner 9X13-inch cake).

The chocolate chips naturally sink a bit on this cake. I examined the recipe by tossing the chocolate chips with the dry substances first or including them in with the moist substances. Both manner, these sneaky chips are inclined to gravitate to the underside of the cake.

No worries right here! Our love for this snack cake goes past the place the chocolate chips land. It’s such a yummy cake!

Slices of this chocolate chip snack cake might be properly plated and eaten with a fork – or the cooled cake squares might be eaten proper out of hand. It’s particularly good served with a chilly glass of milk.

Homey and easy, this tasty cake is a keeper!

Entire Wheat Flour: this snack cake works effectively subbing in half entire wheat flour for the all-purpose flour. I like to recommend utilizing a white number of entire wheat – like laborious or delicate white wheat, einkhorn, or kamut. The outcome can be lighter and fluffier than utilizing a stronger number of wheat, like laborious purple wheat.
Sugar: for a barely sweeter cake, improve the sugar to 1 cup.
