Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (or plant-based butter for vegan)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk or milk (or plant-based milk for vegan)

Chocolate

  • 2 cups Nestlé Toll House chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line your cake pans with parchment paper to ensure easy removal later.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to ensure even distribution of leaveners and chocolate flavor.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer, beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, aerating the mixture and enhancing texture.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate eggs one at a time for proper emulsification, then stir in vanilla extract for aroma and depth.
  5. Alternate Mixing Dry and Wet: Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients to keep the batter smooth and silky.
  6. Fold in Nestlé Toll House Chocolate Chips: Gently fold chocolate chips into the batter to ensure pockets of luscious melted chocolate in every slice.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Frost: Allow cakes to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting with rich chocolate ganache or your favorite buttercream.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smooth blending and even rising.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a tough texture.
  • Measure flour correctly by spooning and leveling for accuracy.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer for proper baking conditions.
  • Let the cake cool before frosting to prevent melting and preserve presentation.
