🍫 Ingredients

For the Chocolate Cake:

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup hot water (or hot coffee for deeper flavor)
1 cup Nestlé Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels

For the Chocolate Ganache:

1 ½ cups Nestlé Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional, for sheen)

For Garnish:

Extra chocolate chips
Shaved chocolate or chocolate curls
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)

🍰 Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Pans

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper circles.

Step 2: Make the Chocolate Cake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until combined.
Slowly pour in the hot water (or coffee), mixing on low speed. The batter will be thin — that’s perfect.
Fold in 1 cup of Nestlé Toll House chocolate chips for that extra gooey texture inside.
