Description

This Toll House Layercake transforms the beloved chocolate chip cookie flavor into a decadent, soft-baked cake. By using a high ratio of butter and sugar, the batter creates a tender crumb that is rich and satisfying. The semi-sweet chocolate chips are distributed throughout, offering pockets of melted chocolate in every bite. It is an ideal dessert for casual gatherings, potlucks, or simply as a comforting treat on a rainy afternoon. The aroma of vanilla and brown sugar fills the kitchen while it bakes, promising a nostalgic experience. Serve it warm for a gooier texture or cool it completely for a firmer slice. This recipe captures the essence of homemade baking with simple, pantry-friendly ingredients that come together to create a timeless favorite.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Grease and flour a standard cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually mix in the salt until just combined.
  5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
