Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Cake:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips
For the Chocolate Chip Frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup Nestlé Toll House mini chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper. - Make the Chocolate Cake:
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. In a large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth (it will be thin). Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely. - Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth. Let the ganache cool to room temperature before using. - Make the Chocolate Chip Frosting:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing on low speed until combined. Add the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, beating until the frosting is smooth and spreadable. If needed, add more cream to reach the desired consistency. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. - Assemble the Cake:
Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a layer of chocolate ganache over the top, letting it drip slightly down the sides. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the chocolate chip frosting, smoothing it out with a spatula. - Decorate:
If desired, garnish the cake with additional chocolate chips or shavings for an extra touch of elegance. - Serve:
Slice and serve this decadent Death by Chocolate Cake, and enjoy the rich, chocolatey layers that make it a truly indulgent treat!
