🍫 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.
