Great not too sweet snack cake. This smells just like chocolate chip cookies when it bakes. Yum. I did add 1 tsp. of vanilla and only had to cook it for 30 minutes. Do divide your chips...some are suppose to go on top according to the recipe. I also added 1/4c. of minced salted peanuts on top. Fantastic. Will be making this again and again. Betcha can't eat just one square.

well i kind of made this cake but changed it for the non chocolate eaters and dieters in my family. first i deleted all but about 1T of the butter, baking cocoa and choc chips. and used applesause and raisons. i soaked the raisons with the oats to plump them and used old fashioned oats. i baked it as a bread not a cake and sprinkled cinnamon sugar and oats on top.. my results were fabulous. people couldnt stop eating it and it was so healthy and moist! thanks for a great starter recipe.. i'm sure the chocolate one is yummy too. i;ll have to try it sometime

You beat me to posting this recipe! lol I have the exact same recipe, and love it. I originally got the recipe from a gal at my church...she had brought it for a potluck. I only make it when I'm taking it elsewhere, because it's just too irresistable to have sitting on my counter!!! Maybe that's the way the gal that I got it from felt! lol While I've never put vanilla in it, it seems fine to me without it.

It's hard to believe this cake is so low in fat. It seems rich with the chocolate chips baked into the cake. Chocolatey good flavour. The cake goes together very quickly. Thank you, lovemeangel.

This was very moist and delicious. I didn't think 1 tablespoon would be enough cocoa, but it was perfect. I didn't reserve the chocolate chips for the top so I'll have to do that next time, and there will be a next time!

I halved this recipe perfectly and put it in a 9x9 pan. My only dif was using almost a whole bag of milk chocolate chips instead of semi sweet. MMMM! My 3 yr old loved it as well as my best friend who came to visit. Thanks for an easy, yummy dessert

Really delicious! I was worried that it was a 'cake' and had no baking powder in it, but it rose up fine as you can see from the picture. It's really very chocolaty too! Great w/out frosting as well.

This is a nice, quick snack cake; simple enough that the kids could make it on their own in the future, I think. It was a bit dense, sticky, and sweet to get the full 5 stars here but definitely a nice quick snack. As another reviewer noted, don't forget to reserve some chips for the top! Thanks so much for posting.

This cake is awesome! My crew ate the first one fast. The second one I added 1/2 tsp. more salt and a cup of walnuts and they ate that one faster! It is easy to make and results are impressive!
