Ingredients
  

For the Cake:
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter melted
  • 2/3 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar packed
  • 1 Large egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups Chocolate chips
For the Frosting:
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1-2 tablespoons Heavy whipping cream or milk to adjust frosting consistency

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • 9-inch round cake pan
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

Method:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: Grease your 9-inch round cake pan with non-stick spray or butter and lightly dust with flour.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar. Whisk until well combined, then add the large egg and vanilla extract, mixing until blended.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the salt, baking soda, and all-purpose flour. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Step 5: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Step 7: Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  8. Step 8: For the frosting, beat the softened unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until well combined. Add a pinch of salt and vanilla extract, then mix in the heavy whipping cream or milk to achieve desired consistency.
  9. Step 9: Once the cake is cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips for decoration.
  10. Step 10: Slice and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
