Title: Double Chocolate Chip Birthday Cake

Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 cups granulated sugar
– 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 2 tsp baking powder
– 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
– 1 tsp salt
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 2 large eggs
– 2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup boiling water
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed with an electric mixer until well combined, about 2 minutes.
4. Reduce the speed to low and carefully pour in the boiling water. Mix until the batter is smooth and liquid.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

To assemble the cake:
1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of chocolate frosting over the top.
2. Carefully place the second cake layer on top.
3. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining chocolate frosting, creating a smooth and even finish.
4. For an extra touch, garnish with additional chocolate chips or sprinkles.
