Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch cake pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Add boiling water: Stir the boiling water into the batter until smooth. The batter will be thin, but this helps to create a moist cake.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan(s) and bake for 30-35 minutes for a 9×13-inch cake (or 25-30 minutes for two 9-inch round cakes), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Top with your favorite frosting, a drizzle of chocolate ganache, or serve as is with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Enjoy your irresistibly chocolatey Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cake!
