Ingredients

Servings

• 2.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.25 cup Milk
• 1.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
9. Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder until the frosting is thick and glossy.
10. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of chocolate frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
11. Allow the cake to rest for 30 minutes before serving.
12. Enjoy!
