# Zutaten:

→ Cake Batter

01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
05 - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
06 - 2 large eggs, at room temperature
07 - 1/4 cup vegetable oil
08 - 1 cup whole milk
09 - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
10 - 1 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips

→ Frosting

11 - 4 cups sifted powdered sugar
12 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
13 - 1/4 cup heavy cream
14 - 1/4 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips

# Zubereitung:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well mixed.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, beat unsalted butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vegetable oil until fully incorporated.
05 - Reduce mixer speed to low. Add milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
06 - Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture in two parts, mixing on low until just combined. Do not overmix.
07 - Gently fold in 1 cup of mini chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring even distribution.
08 - Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
09 - Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before frosting.
10 - In a bowl, blend sifted powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, mixing until smooth and spreadable.
11 - Spread frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Sprinkle 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips on top for garnish.
12 - Slice and serve as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

# Hinweise:

01 - Allow butter and eggs to reach room temperature before mixing for a smooth and cohesive batter.
02 - Brown butter may be substituted for a deeper flavor profile.
03 - Adjust sugar content to suit personal sweetness preference.
