I kinda feel bad for sharing a not healthy recipe, but this cake is just so dang good…so I kinda don’t?! I guess you could say I had a chocolate meltdown this week. I had a couple days in a row where I was super stressed out. My boys had one activity after another and I was in the car literally all day long. Plus they had school testing and projects due. Lots of blogging commitments and deadlines, yada yada. You know. I just needed a serious chocolate break. Do you ever feel like that? Like you just wanna sit on your comfy couch, in your comfy pajamas and eat a yummy, moist piece of chocolate cake?!? Please tell me I’m not alone in this!!
Well, in comes the Double Chocolate Snack Cake…
This is one of my mom’s recipes and it’s so easy. The recipe calls for a 9×13 pan but I usually half it and make an 8×8 because I might will eat it all if I make the bigger recipe. 🙂 Basically you put all the dry ingredients in the bottom of your ungreased pan and then mix up your liquid ingredients in a small bowl. Next, you pour the wet straight into the dry ingredients. Stir it all up in the baking dish, throw some chocolate chips and nuts on the top and bake it. It makes such a moist cake. To me it tastes similar to a texas sheet cake. I absolutely love making it when I just need something chocolatey but not overly rich and heavy. It’s the perfect amount of richness and I think that’s why it’s dubbed a “snack cake”. Anyway, I hope you give it a try – stressful day or not. You will love it!
