Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing pan
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven and prepare pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter, and then dust with flour. This will help the cake come out of the pan easily once it’s finished baking.
Step 2: Make the cake batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined. Add the warm water and beat until the batter is smooth. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips.
Step 3: Bake the cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before frosting.
Step 4: Make the frosting
To make the frosting, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir until smooth. Let cool until it’s thick enough to spread.
Step 5: Assemble the cake
When the cake is cool and the frosting is ready, spread the frosting over the top of the cake. Slice and serve.
