Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two 8” pans. Set aside.
- Stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, optional chips, and sugar in a bowl.
- In a new bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients. Pour wet into dry and stir until just combined (don’t over-mix). Pour into the pans.
- Bake on the center rack for 25 minutes or until batter has risen and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out mostly clean.
- For the frosting, beat all ingredients with hand (or stand) mixer and sweeten with the powdered sugar to taste.
- Top each cake with 1/2 the frosting once the cake has cooled.
