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)

Instructions
 

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!
