Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

1 box of Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookie mix
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup dark cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chocolate fudge icing (store-bought or homemade)
Whipped cream (for serving)
Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (for garnish)

Method
 

Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 9-inch round cake pans to prevent sticking.
    Prepare the cookie batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookie mix with the softened butter, medium speed until creamy.
      Add the eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing until well combined. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
        Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
          Mix wet and dry: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey experience.
            Bake the cakes: Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
              Cool the cakes: Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
                Layer the cake: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of chocolate fudge icing on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining icing.
                  Decorate: Top the cake with whipped cream and sprinkle chocolate shavings or chocolate sprinkles for a lavish finish.
                    Serve and enjoy: Slice into the decadent cake and serve with additional whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy the rich chocolate goodness!
