One Bowl Chocolate Cake
One Bowl.
Sometimes you read those recipes that have a ton of ingredients and complicated steps like put these two ingredients together then softly let this other ingredient penetrate the other two etc. I have a solution for you. ONE BOWL chocolate cake. It is simple and easy. You throw all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix them together, the outcome is delicious.
I found the one bowl chocolate cake recipe here and have made a few adjustments of my own.
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 2/4 cup flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup apple sauce
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup hot coffee
- pinch of salt
The key differences between my recipe and the original are the apple sauce, brown sugar and coffee. The original recipe asks for white sugar, I think brown sugar tastes way better and gives it a richer color. I used apple sauce instead of oil,you can't taste the difference. Apple sauce is healthier and I think it makes the cake moister! Finally, instead of a cup of boiling water I used coffee because it makes the cake more flavorful. The one thing about this recipe is I would suggest adding the coffee last. I also added a little bit of raw coconut! Bake these on 350 for about 20- 30 minutes. If you do cupcakes they will be ready much quicker.
I made one 9 inch round cake pan and 12 muffin sized cupcakes with this recipe!
Enjoy :)
