CHOCOLATE SNACK CAKE
This rich cocoa cake from LeeAnn McCue is so tasty, there's no need to frost it. "But it's wonderful served warm with ice cream or whipped cream," suggests the West Springfield, Massachusetts cook. Sweetly priced at 8 cents a square, it's just the right size for a small family.

CHOCOLATE CHIP SOUR CREAM SNACK CAKE
In this loose interpretation of my mom's chocolate chip-sour cream bundt cake, sweet rice flour, all-purpose flour and a healthy amount of sour cream combine to create a rich, plush cake with a moist and structured crumb. Baked in a versatile 8-inch square pan and generously studded with melty semisweet chocolate chips, this snackable cake is simple but surprisingly decadent, a reminder that at the end of the day, cake should taste good and be a joy to eat. Enjoy a homey, comforting slice with your fingers or a fork - there are no rules here.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the sides (to make it easier to remove the cake after baking) and grease the parchment.
- Combine the all-purpose flour, sweet rice flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and whisk until combined.
- Beat the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and cream the mixture until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until combined. Scrape the bowl once more, then beat in the vanilla. Sift half of the dry ingredients over the egg mixture and beat just until combined. Beat in the sour cream and milk, then sift in the rest of the dry ingredients and beat just until the batter is smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a small offset spatula. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top. Bake the cake, rotating the pan halfway through, for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then gently loosen the edges with a small offset spatula and carefully transfer the cake (using the parchment sling to assist) onto a rack to cool completely.
CHOCOLATE CHUNK SNACK CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE MALT FROSTING
I've enhanced the classic snack cake to make it homey enough for an after-school treat but also special enough for festive occasions. I started with a simple yellow cake made with buttermilk for tang and tenderness. I added chopped bittersweet chocolate (I prefer a cocoa percentage around 65 percent or 70 percent) and iced the cake with frosting that features cocoa powder, melted chocolate and malted milk powder for loads of luscious flavor.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In another large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then beat in the vanilla. In three additions, beat in the flour mixture, alternating with additions of the buttermilk, starting and ending with flour. Fold in the chocolate. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool completely, and then remove the cake from the pan using the parchment overhangs to lift it out.
- For the frosting: In a large bowl, whisk together the malt powder, cocoa powder and boiling water until smooth. Let cool.
- Add the butter and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Add the chocolate and salt and beat until smooth and thick. Spread the frosting onto the cooled cake.

ONE PAN CHOCOLATE SNACK CAKE
This is a recipe my mother made when we were children. It was so moist it never needed frosting. Mom would use a paper doily to make a pretty powdered sugar design on the top. I have found a couple online, but they just were not as good.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cake will taste. Opt for semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50%.
- Use buttermilk instead of regular milk. Buttermilk makes the cake moist and tender. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
- Don't overbake the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
This homemade chocolate snack cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It's perfect for any occasion, whether you're serving it for dessert, a snack, or a special event. With its rich chocolate flavor and moist texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
