Serving: This cake is rich and indulgent, so a small slice goes a long way. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a perfect balance of flavors.
Storing: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you need to keep it longer, store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Allow the cake to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
Freezing: You can also freeze the cake! Wrap the cake layers tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, let the cake sit at room temperature for a few hours before frosting and serving.
Variants:
Death by Chocolate Cupcakes: Make individual cupcakes by dividing the batter among a muffin tin and reducing the baking time to 18-20 minutes.
Chocolate and Peanut Butter: Add a swirl of peanut butter to the frosting or mix in peanut butter chips for a delicious contrast to the rich chocolate flavor.
Chocolate and Raspberry: Add a layer of fresh raspberries or raspberry preserves between the cake layers for a fruity twist that complements the chocolate perfectly.
Vegan Version: Substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water per egg) and use plant-based milk and vegan butter.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use regular chocolate instead of Nestlé Toll House chocolate chips? A: Yes, you can substitute any good-quality semi-sweet chocolate, but Nestlé Toll House chips offer the best texture and flavor for this cake.
Q: Can I make this cake in advance? A: Yes! The cake can be made a day ahead. Just store the layers separately and frost them the day of serving to ensure they remain fresh.
Q: Can I double the recipe for a larger cake? A: Absolutely! You can double the ingredients and bake in larger cake pans. Just be sure to adjust the baking time as needed.
Q: My frosting is too runny. What can I do? A: If your frosting is too thin, allow it to cool longer at room temperature to thicken up. You can also add a little more melted chocolate or reduce the amount of cream slightly next time.
