Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake:
- 1 box (18.25 oz) Nestlé Toll House chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (or more for desired consistency)
- 1 cup Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips
For Garnish (optional):
- Extra chocolate chips or grated chocolate
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until well combined, following the package instructions.
- Fold in the 1 cup of chocolate chips and vanilla extract.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the Frosting:
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and milk.
- Stir until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate chips (either in a microwave in 30-second increments or using a double boiler). Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before adding it to the frosting mixture. Stir until well combined.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Place one layer of the cooled cake on a serving plate.
- Spread a generous amount of frosting over the top of the first layer.
- Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the chocolate frosting.
- For an extra chocolate touch, sprinkle additional chocolate chips or grated chocolate on top of the cake for garnish.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Allow the cake to set for about 30 minutes to let the frosting firm up slightly before serving. Enjoy every decadent bite!
Notes
- You can use any type of chocolate cake mix or chocolate chips you prefer, but Nestlé Toll House chocolate chips work perfectly for this rich chocolate cake.
- For an even more indulgent version, add a layer of ganache between the cake layers.
- This cake is best enjoyed within 2-3 days for maximum freshness. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
