If you love brownies but crave cake, or adore chocolate lava cakes but want something sliceable, meet your new favorite dessert: Crinkle Cake.
This dense, fudgy, deeply chocolate cake gets its name from the cracked, crinkled top that forms as it bakes—then gets dusted with a generous snowfall of powdered sugar that melts into every fissure. It’s rich without being heavy, moist without being gooey, and impossibly easy—made with one bowl and no mixer.
Think of it as the love child of a brownie and a chocolate soufflé—with a crackly crust, tender crumb, and bittersweet chocolate depth that satisfies every cocoa craving. And the best part? Ready in under an hour, with minimal cleanup and maximum wow factor.
Let’s bake a cake that’s as humble as it is heavenly.
