Instructions
Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8"x8" square baking pan. Then line baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

- Add the vanilla extract and the egg and beat until combined.
- Stir in the flour and cocoa powder until there are no streaks of dry ingredients left.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25 minutes or until a tooth pick tests clean. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
Fudge Frosting
- Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder into a bowl and stir to combine.
- Add the melted butter and 1 tablespoon of the boiling water. Stir well. If your icing is too thick, you can add 1 more tablespoon of boiling water to get it to spreading consistency.
- Spread frosting on cooled cake and then let set for about 15 minutes before you cut it.
