Super Moist Chocolate Loaf Cake
There are just some days when life simply happens in the kitchen. This cake, folks, is a little rescue story in itself, and its hero is none other than the beloved childhood pudding. My kids, as you know, are
absolutely crazy about puddings. I always try to make sure that we have a stock at home, but
sometimes, you know how it is, you get stuck.
One day, a small drama unfolded: I was too busy to go shopping, and there was only one lonely Milky left in the fridge. Naturally, it wasn’t enough for two. A little war was about to break out, I could see the tears welling up, and the shouts of “Mine!” were already flashing through my mind. I saw the future, and the mess, so I stopped both of them. I asked them to take a deep breath and give me 5 minutes. I promised to take that one Milky and turn it into something delicious and indulgent that would be enough for everyone.
And that is how this incredibly soft, juicy, and special chocolate cake was born, made specifically for little chocolate lovers. It only took me five minutes to make and get it into the oven, using ingredients you have in your pantry right now. I have to say, the smile on the kids’ faces was worth everything. This cake saves the day!
