Susan's Citrus Snacker

Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 
  • 3/4 cup sugar 
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda 
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup pure unsweetened orange juice
  • 2 Tbsp orange zest
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil 
  • 1/3 cup sour cream 
  • 1 egg 
  •  1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
  1. Mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, add orange juice, sour cream, orange zest vegetable oil, vinegar, and stir. 
  3. Add the dry mix to the wet, stir until everything is incorporated, and then add the chocolate chips.
  4. Pour into a square 8x8x2 cake pan that has been prepared with parchment paper for easy removal, and bake in a preheated 350 oven for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let rest at least ten minutes before removing from the cake pan. 
**Tip for preparing a pan with parchment: Lightly grease the sides and bottoms of the pan or spray with cooking spray before adding the parchment paper. This will help it better adhere to the pan.

Happy baking!
