How to make Chocolate Craving Cake
TO MAKE THE CAKE:
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: Use parchment paper to line an 8 x 8-inch glass or ceramic baking dish and grease the sides and bottom. Note: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F if using a metal baking pan.
Step 3: In a bowl of a stand mixer, whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4: Add the egg into the bowl with the other ingredients followed by oil and vanilla. Beat on low until mixed, then, adjust the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes more.
Step 5: Add in the warm water. Stir gently, this time the batter will be very thin.
Step 6: Transfer the batter into the prepared dish and place it inside the preheated oven. Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Step 7: Allow the cake to cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan, then onto a cooling rack until room temperature.
TO MAKE THE FROSTING:
Step 8: Add the chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments at 50% power. make sure to stir after each heating until fully melted.
Step 9: Add in the sour cream and vanilla and use a hand mixer to stir the frosting until well incorporated and fluffier.
Step 10: When done, spread the frosting over the cooled cake.
