Ingredients
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs (room temperature)
½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup buttermilk (room temperature)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, cream together melted butter and sugar until fluffy; add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
Gradually mix in dry ingredients and buttermilk until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Pour batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool before frosting with ganache.
Notes
For added flavor variations, consider incorporating espresso powder or chopped nuts into the batter. If you prefer a lighter cake, swap half of the butter for unsweetened applesauce.
