Ingredients
Scale
- 12 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° and lightly grease a 9" springform or 9-inch cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, cream the softened butter with brown and granulated sugar until smooth, about 60 seconds.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract; beat well until combined.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, espresso powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients in two batches, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan and scatter extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 23-27 minutes, until the center is slightly underdone but will firm up as it cools.
- (Optional) For added decoration, you can make a half-batch of chocolate buttercream and top the cake with it and some sprinkles.
Notes
Ensure the butter is properly softened for easy creaming with sugars.
You can use more or less chocolate chips based on your preference.
If you desire a thicker cake, consider using a smaller pan.
