Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and diced small
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Stir until combined.
Fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed. If using dark chocolate chips, fold them in as well.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or serving.
Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar for garnish before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
