- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup chocolate chunks
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (for drizzle)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (for crumble)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crumble)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for crumble)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a mixer bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
- For the crumble, mix together the butter, flour, sugar, and cocoa powder until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the cake batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the drizzle, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cake before serving.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality chocolate for the chunks and drizzle. The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
