Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup (80 ml ) vegetable oil
  • 2 ounces (55 g ) unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (or ½ cup)
  • 1 egg
  • 1¼ cups (300 g) whole wheat flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) water
  • ¾ cup (180 g) semi-sweet chocolate pieces (such as chocolate chips)
  • ½ cup (120 g) chopped nuts
  • 4 ounces (115 g) cream cheese or sour cream (optional)

Directions

1

Put the oil and chocolate in an 8- inch (20 cm ) square pan and set it in 350 °F (180 °C) oven just until the chocolate melts. Add sour cream or cream cheese if desired.

2

Add remaining ingredients, except chocolate chips and nuts, to the pan.

3

Beat with a fork until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes).

4

Scrape the sides of the pan, and spread the batter evenly in the pan.

5

Sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts. Optionally, cut the chocolate chips and nuts into the batter to some extent.

6

Bake at 350 °F (180 °C) for 30 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.

7

Cool in pan; eat hot or cooled.
