How to Make Chocolate Chip Gooey Butter Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. For the crust: In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon baking powder to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Press half of the batter into the prepared pan.
  5. For the topping: In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, mixing until just combined.
  7. Spread the topping evenly over the crust layer in the pan.
  8. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let cool completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
