One bowl chocolate cake

I finally found my go to chocolate cake! So moist and chocolaty from the inside, a perfect cake for that immediate chocolate craving, or use it as a base for any celebration cake adding your favourite frosting and the best part is.. it requires just one bowl yay!

Couple of weeks ago I had a serious like serious craving for a rich chocolate cake and I browsed my pantry to see I had most of the ingredients so I decided to go for it. I had no patience to use many bowls and clean up later no no! So I took one big bowl added all the ingredients and made sure I wrote it down, not knowing if it will turn out well but I took a change and I was like if it turns out good I will share it with you all if it doesn’t I will still satisfy craving and will still eat it all ;)

The recipe worked to my favour and it was one delicious moist, extra chocolaty cake I had, turned out better than I expected! Yay!This cake is perfect for tea time, a celebration birthdays, anniversaries ets cake, add any of your favorite icing, or a chocolate ganche, it will be a wonder showstopper of a cake! 

I have used dark chocolate chips for this cake and trust me on this, it makes so much of a difference when you get gooey bits of chocolate when you take a piece of this cake. Do not melt the chocolate chips and add to the batter, just add the chocolate chips and when it bakes it will melt inside and there is this deliciousness of extra chocolate in every bite ;)
