Ingredients
This recipe requires the following ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1 cup granulated sugar, 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2/3 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup of water, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
Instructions
To begin, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each one. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the sour cream, oil and water and mix until combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Decorating
Once the cake has cooled, it’s time to decorate. Start by making the frosting. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract and salt until light and fluffy. Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips over the top and around the sides of the cake. Place the cake in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
