Build 2 Ingredient Chocolate Cake Step by Step

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cake bakes evenly and rises beautifully.
  • Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a little non-stick spray or butter. This will help your cake release easily after baking.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips. Melt them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler on the stovetop.
  • In a separate bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and beat them until they are light and frothy. This will help incorporate air into the cake, making it light and fluffy.
  • Once the chocolate is melted and slightly cooled, gently fold the beaten eggs into the chocolate mixture. Be careful not to deflate the eggs; you want to maintain as much air as possible.
  • Pour the combined mixture into your prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake will rise during baking and then settle as it cools.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, slice and serve as desired!

Notes

  • Be sure to melt the chocolate slowly and stir frequently to prevent it from seizing.
  • Fold the eggs gently into the chocolate to keep the batter light and fluffy.
  • Grease the cake pan well or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze individual slices for up to 3 months.
