Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 °F with rack in middle. Butter bottom and side of pan, then line bottom with a round of parchment.
-
Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
-
Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to medium-low and add flour mixture and milk alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture (batter will appear curdled).
-
Transfer batter to cake pan and smooth top. Bake until cake begins to pull away from side of pan and a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool cake in pan 5 minutes, then invert onto a rack and cool completely, about 1 hour.
Why this Glazed Chocolate Cake with Sprinkles works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Glazed Chocolate Cake with Sprinkles works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
