Ingredients
Cake
- 1 ½ cups (273 g) milk chocolate chips
- 1 ¾ cups (219 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (88.5 g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 ¾ cups (350 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (163.5 g) vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
Frosting
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 6 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250 g) confectioners' sugar
- 6 tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and spray a 9x13-inch metal baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- To a medium, microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chips are melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the dry ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- To the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the eggs and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- With the mixer on low, add the melted chocolate, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until no lumps remain.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 46-48 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter.
- While the cake is still warm, make the frosting.
Frosting
- In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, or using a hand mixer, combine butter, cocoa, honey, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar.
- Turn the mixer on low and let it combine the ingredients for about 30 seconds.
- Slowly add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
- Spread the frosting over the warm cake.
