Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until each is fully incorporated. Beat in the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined, then stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using).

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cakes have cooled, frost with your favorite frosting. Enjoy!
