30 Minute Scoopable Chocolate Cake

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.

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 (⅓ 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!
