Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

Frosting

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, and mix until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the frosting, cream together the butter and confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract, and beat until combined. Spread the frosting between the two cakes and on the top and sides.
