One Pan Chocolate Cake recipe

Satisfy your chocolate cravings with this One Pan Chocolate Cake! It’s moist, fudgy, and full of chocolate flavor. To get that intense chocolate flavor, this recipe uses melted chocolate. So be sure to use excellent unsweetened chocolate or good quality dark chocolate.    

As its name suggests, this cake comes together in one cake pan, whisked by hand. To start, melt the chocolate and oil together in the preheated oven. Then gently remove the hot cake pan from the oven. Add in the sugar, water, milk, egg, cake flour, salt, baking soda, and vanilla extract. You could sub coffee for water to deepen the chocolate flavor, if you wish. Whisk together the ingredients, then spread the batter evenly in the pan. Finally, sprinkle the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts over the top and bake. Cool the cake in the pan before serving. Enjoy!
