Chocolate Chip Cake

Scribbled Underline

Ingredients needed

Place the flour in a large bowl, reserving 1 tablespoon, and set aside. Stir the baking powder and salt into the same bowl.

Step 1:

Beat the butter and sugar together at medium speed in a large mixing bowl so that it is slightly crumbly.

Step 2:

Mix in the vanilla and oil until smooth.

Step 3:

Beat in one egg at a time so the mixture is combined and creamy.

Step 4:

Rotate adding the milk and dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until the cake batter is combined. Mix at medium-high speed and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5:

Toss a cup of chocolate chips in the reserved flour, then fold it into the batter.

Step 6:

Divide batter equally between the pans and bake for 30-35 minutes. Once done, cool the cakes on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Then remove from the pan and continue cooling. While the cake is baking, start making the frosting.

Step 7:

Cream butter and add the powdered sugar half at a time on low speed, working up to high speed. Beat until the buttercream is fluffy. Add the vanilla, and continue mixing for 2 minutes.

Step 8:

Place the first cake layer on a cake plate. Spread a 1/2-inch layer of frosting on top.

Step 9:

Then sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on and spread them into the frosting with a spatula.

Step 10:

Add the top layer. And mound the frosting on top and spread it across and down the sides of the cake.

Step 11:

Smooth out the icing as needed with the spatula. There is more than enough frosting for this cake, so go heavy if needed to avoid getting crumbs in it.

Step 12:

Once the cake is covered, sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the entire cake and spread them in as you finish.

Step 13:

Top with additional chocolate chips if desired and slice!
