As the third recipe in my Weeknight Dessert series, this 30 minute scoopable chocolate cake might be my favorite. It's a simple bowl & whisk recipe that's baked in an oven-to-table dish, so once it's baked you can immediately drench it in chocolate ganache and dig in! It's the kind of dessert that you want after a really long workday and the craving for a gooey, molten, ultra chocolatey dessert must be satisfied NOW… or within the next 30 minutes.

📖 Recipe
30 Minute Scoopable Chocolate Cake
Equipment
Ingredients
For the chocolate cake:
- 50 g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
- 53 g (¼ cup) brown sugar
- 36 g (3 tablespoon) neutral oil
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 45 g (â…“ cup) all-purpose flour
- 21 g (¼ cup) Dutch process cocoa powder
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 56 g (¼ cup) whole milk
For the chocolate ganache:
- 113 g (½ cup) heavy cream
- 113 g (4 oz) dark chocolate
- 14 g (1 tablespoon) unsalted butter
Instructions
For the chocolate cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a small baking dish with butter. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugars, oil, egg, and vanilla.
- Add in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix until fully combined.
- Lastly, add the milk, and whisk until fully combined.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake the cake for about 25-28 minutes. We want it to be slightly underbaked.
For the chocolate ganache:
- While the cake is in the oven, make the ganache.
- In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer or about 190 degrees F.
- Remove the pan from heat and add in the chocolate and butter. Stir until completely combined. Use an immersion blender for an extra smooth ganache.
- Once the cake comes out of the oven, immediately pour the ganache on top and enjoy!
