Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  4. Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  9. For the frosting, beat softened butter and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and melted chocolate, mixing until creamy.
  10. Spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.
