Chocolate Snack Cake with Sour Cream Frosting

This Chocolate Snack Cake scratched my itch for a chocolate craving. Being empty
nesters, this cake is the perfect size that lasts a few days. The cake is
exactly what you want– moist, tender and chocolatey! The frosting has only three
ingredients. Perfection!

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 350°F.

Line an 8×8-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with parchment paper and spray
sides and bottom.

NOTE: If using a metal baking pan, heat oven to 325°F.
2 In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder,
baking soda, and salt.
3 Add in egg, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix on low until incorporated.

Increase the speed to medium and mix for 2 additional minutes.
4 Add in warm water and gently stir. The batter will be very thin.
5 Pour batter into the prepared dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a clean
toothpick is inserted and removed with a few crumbs, but no wet batter.
6 Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then, continue cooling on a rack
until cooled to room temperature.
7 In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in the microwave at
50% power in 30-second increments, stirring after each heating, until they are
fully melted.
8 To the melted chocolate chips, add the sour cream and vanilla. Stir by hand
until frosting is well combined and fluffier.
9 Spread over cooled cake.
