Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Add-Ins

  • 1 1/2 cups Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet chocolate morsels

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pans: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution and maximum chocolate flavor.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth to create a silky batter texture.
  4. Create the Batter: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture while stirring gently to combine. Gradually add the boiling water, mixing carefully. The batter will be thin, which is ideal for moistness.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Morsels: Gently fold in the Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet chocolate morsels to evenly distribute chocolate pockets throughout the batter.
  6. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for a smoother batter and better texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense and tough cake.
  • Check for doneness starting at 30 minutes, as oven temperatures may vary.
  • Let the cakes cool thoroughly before frosting to prevent melting and sliding.
  • Choose Dutch-processed or natural cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor.
