Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat the Oven. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently.
  • Step 6: Add Milk and Butter. Fold in the milk and melted butter until the batter is smooth.
  • Step 7: Incorporate Chocolate Chips. Fold in the chocolate chips and additional vanilla extract.
  • Step 8: Bake the Cake. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  • Step 9: Cool the Cake. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Ensure your mayonnaise is well-blended for a smooth texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine.
  • Check for doneness with a toothpick; moist crumbs are perfect.
  • Cool completely before frosting for the best flavor.
