Description
Fluffy Chocolate Chip Cake is a quick, soft, and moist dessert made with minimal ingredients and no oven required. Perfectly portioned for small batches, this tender cake is topped with chocolate chips and can be cooked on the stovetop or baked in the oven.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips (for topping)
Instructions
- Beat the egg in a bowl, gradually adding sugar while whisking until stiff peaks form.
- Add oil and beat for another minute.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Add vanilla and gently fold to combine.
- Pour batter into a greased 5-inch mold and top with chocolate chips.
- Stovetop Method: Preheat a heavy-bottomed pan with a lid over medium heat for 5 minutes. Place the mold inside, cover, and cook on low flame for 20–30 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick.
- Oven Method: Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Bake cake for 20–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
- Mix chocolate chips into the batter for extra gooeyness.
- Add 1 tsp instant coffee powder for a mocha flavor.
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup or warm milk before serving for added moisture.
- Use chopped chocolate if you don’t have chips.
- Substitute egg with 1/4 cup yogurt or applesauce for an eggless version.
