Instructions
Making the Cake
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk or yogurt. Mix until just combined and then fold in the chocolate chips. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Making the Frosting
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and mix until combined.
Frost the cooled cake with the chocolate frosting. Serve and enjoy.
