  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips

  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Notes

I originally made this with 8 Tbsp butter, 3/4 cup sugar and 1 1/4 cup flour. The second time I made it, I decreased the quantities to those listed in the recipe and it tasted exactly the same, leading me to believe the extra butter and flour are unnecessary. If you want a sweeter cake, use 3/4 cup sugar instead of 2/3 cup but keep in mind the chocolate chips add sweetness, as well as ice cream if you choose to top it with that!
