How to Make Cupid's Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, frost with your favorite white icing (to complete the story!).
