1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup water

1 egg, slightly beaten
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup chopped pecans
whipped topping or sweetened whipped cream, optional

Preheat oven to 350°. Heat oil and unsweetened chocolate in an 8-inch square baking pan in oven until chocolate is melted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add water, sugar, egg, flour, salt, baking soda, and vanilla.

Using a fork, beat until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Scrape pan with rubber spatula and spread batter evenly in the pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and chopped pecans. Bake at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool and serve as is or with whipped topping, if desired.
