Pecan-Chocolate Chip Snack Cake

So easy, and my husband loves it!

Tasty but with an intersting spongy texture. Very fast and easy.

These were disappointing. The batter is much better than the finished product.

Just because it isn't a cake, no one should lower the stars on this, it's still delicious, chocolatey and chewy. Yes, it is more like a blondie, so what? I like it just this way. I don't think the texture was rubbery at all, but I can imagine it could be rubbery if you over beat the egg whites. I made the recipe and have it step by step on my blog, CHECK IT OUT!: http://minameenah.blogspot.com/2010/07/craving-of-day-something-chewy-and.html

I was a bit confused as to how this was to come out, so I left it in the oven longer than what I was supposed to. Lucky for me it still turned out fabulous and I will definitely be making this again and again.

These are definitely more like blondies or cookie bars than a cake, which may be what "snack cake" is supposed to mean. I thought the flavor was great, and the portion size is fine for a snack. The problem I had, hence only 3 stars, was that after baking for 18 minutes they are still really undercooked (and I love a gooey brownie!). An extra 3 minutes in the oven would solve this, and then I think they would easily be 4 stars, especially considering the calorie/fat count! Also, I skipped the powdered sugar on top and don't miss it at all.
