Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Begin by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the oven reaches the right temperature for even baking.

Prepare the Pan:
Lightly grease an 8x8x2-inch square baking pan, or you can opt to line it with parchment paper for easy removal after baking. -
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined. Use a fork or whisk to help break up any clumps of cocoa powder, ensuring a smooth dry mixture. -
Add Wet Ingredients:
Stir in the water, white vinegar, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated. At this stage, the batter will be relatively runny, which is perfectly normal. -
Add Chocolate Chips:
Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. These will melt and create pockets of gooey chocolate throughout the cake. -
Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. You’ll know the cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs attached. -
Cool the Cake:
Once the cake has finished baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Afterward, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. The cake will set as it cools, making it easier to cut into squares. -
Dust with Powdered Sugar:
Before serving, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and a beautiful presentation.
Tips for Success
- Flour: Make sure to measure your flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off with a knife. Too much flour can make the cake dense.
- Chocolate Chips: If you’d like to make the cake even richer, you can add a handful of mini chocolate chips or even drizzle melted chocolate on top for a fudgy finish.
- Storage: This Double Chocolate Snack Cake stays moist for several days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also freeze leftovers for up to a month—simply wrap the pieces in plastic wrap before freezing.
Enjoy this indulgent treat that combines the best of chocolate with the perfect, fluffy texture. Ideal for any occasion, this cake is not only delicious but also quick and easy to make—no fuss, no hassle!
