Chocolate Chip Funny Cake Pie is a whimsical dessert that combines a flaky pie crust, a soft vanilla cake layer, and a fudgy chocolate bottom. Mini chocolate chips add melty richness throughout, making this a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for syrup)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for batter)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fit a 9-inch pie plate with the prepared pie crust and crimp edges.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar, cocoa powder, and hot water to make the chocolate syrup. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. In another bowl, beat eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  6. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  7. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pie crust.
  9. Carefully drizzle the chocolate syrup over the batter; it will sink during baking.
  10. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  11. Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing to allow layers to set.
