Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F / 180C. Lightly spray an 8 inch round or square cake pan.
- In the cake pan add the oil and chocolate, heat in the oven for 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and add the sugar, water, milk, egg, flour, salt, baking soda and vanilla. Beat together with a fork or small whisk for approximately 2 minutes or until combined well.
- Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top and then the nuts. Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached, after 30 minutes tent the cake with foil so it doesn't brown too much on top. Cool in the pan, then serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- For every cup of all purpose flour, remove two tablespoons and replace with two tablespoons of corn starch. Be sure to sift the flour and cornstarch together a couple of times, this way it is sure to be properly combined and lump free. Cake flour in cakes will give you a very tender texture and fine crumb, it will also help the cake to rise.
- Store the one pan chocolate cake covered in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- You can also freeze the cake whole or in slices. Cool completely then wrap in plastic wrap then foil to prevent freezer burn. Store in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. To thaw, remove from the freezer and place in the refrigerator still wrapped until completely thawed for about 24 hours.
