Description
A fun and spooky chocolate chip cake perfect for Halloween.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar (for decoration)
- Black food coloring (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, stack the cakes, using chocolate chip frosting between layers.
- Mix confectioners’ sugar with a small amount of water and black food coloring to create a glaze. Drizzle over the top of the cake to create a ‘mummy’ effect.
- Use remaining white chocolate chips to make ‘eyes’ on the cake.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- Consider adding a layer of chocolate ganache for added moisture.
- This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container.
