- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven and prepare the ingredients
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. 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. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients and milk, alternating between the two until everything is well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch (23 cm) cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
Step 5: Prepare the frosting
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until smooth. Allow the frosting to cool for a few minutes before spreading it over the cooled cake. Sprinkle chopped nuts over the top if desired.
