Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (400g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon (5g) baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon (4g) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt
- 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons (10ml) vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1-1/2 cups (360ml) whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, then gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. Beat until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool completely in the pans before frosting.
Tips
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
- To make a chocolate ganache frosting, heat 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream and 1 cup (200g) semisweet chocolate chips over low heat until melted and smooth.
- For a fun twist, add 1/2 cup (120ml) chocolate chips to the batter.
- To make a chocolate buttercream frosting, cream together 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar, 1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup (60ml) milk until light and fluffy.
- For chewier cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- For crispier cookies, bake for a few minutes longer.
- Feel free to add other mix-ins to your cookies, such as nuts, dried fruit, or candy.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
