Nestlé’s Toll House Chocolate Cake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.

In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Alternately add the dry flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just incorporated.

Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and smooth the tops.

Bake the cake:

Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before turning them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
