Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk

Chocolate Chips

  • 1 ½ cups Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional Garnishes and Variations

  • Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • Pinch of cinnamon or chili powder (optional)
  • Raspberries or cherries (optional)
  • Melted chocolate or chocolate ganache (optional)
  • Additional chocolate chips or chocolate shavings for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Pans: Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper to ensure easy cake release and clean edges.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and creamy, which is essential for a moist crumb.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time followed by vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just blended to avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter to distribute evenly without overmixing.
  7. Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Frost: Allow the cakes to cool completely on wire racks before frosting with your favorite chocolate frosting. Garnish with additional chocolate chips or shavings if desired.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients like butter, eggs, and milk for smooth mixing and better cake texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter; mix just until ingredients come together to keep the cake tender.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer to ensure even and perfect baking.
  • Cool cakes completely before frosting to prevent melting and sliding of the frosting.
  • Consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to intensify chocolate flavor without adding coffee taste.
