- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Equipment Needed
- Two 9-inch round cake pans
- Mixing bowls

Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s start with the chocolate cake base. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your cake pans by greasing them and lining the bottoms with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix the chocolate cake mix following the package instructions, and then pour the batter equally into the two prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once they’re done, let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
