GIANNA'S CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Make the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottoms of two 9-inch cake pans and fit with two circles of parchment paper. Butter the paper and pan sides and dust with flour. Set aside.
• Bring a small sauce of water to a boil and maintain. Combine the flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, 3/4 cup cocoa, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl.

• 3. Assemble the cake: Place one layer on a cake plate. Spread a third of the frosting over the layer. Sprinkle with half of the chocolate chips. Top with the remaining layer and spread the remaining froting over the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
