Toll House Cake (Layer Cake or Bundt Cake - You Pick) image

You'll love this delicious chocolate chip cake from Toll House. It can be made as a layer cake or a Bundt cake. Both are great! I found it in an old Better Homes and Gardens recipe booklet from the late 70's. It is different from all the other recipes I've found. It's a yellow cake with chocolate chips and creamy, delicious, chocolate buttercream icing! Be sure to use the mini-morsels because the regular ones will sink down to the bottom. If you just need a rich, chocolatey buttercream frosting, I have also posted the frosting separately. It is recipe #384599.

Time 45m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/4 cups unsifted flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I use 2)
2 eggs, divided
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup semisweet chocolate, mini-morsels (Nestles)
1/3 cup butter
1 cup semisweet chocolate, mini-morsels (Nestles)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
5 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Grease and flour two 8 or 9 inch pans or one 10 inch Bundt pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine flour, soda and salt.
  • In large bowl, combine butter, brown sugar and vanilla. Beat until creamy.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Alternately beat in flour mixture and milk.
  • Stir in mini-morsels.
  • Pour into prepared pans.
  • Bake 35 minutes for layers or 45 minutes for Bundt cake.
  • NOTE- DO NOT test for doneness by piercing cake because it may deflate if you do.
  • Cool 15 minutes in pans.
  • Remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.
  • FROSTING:.
  • In small saucepan, melt butter.
  • Stir in mini-morsels until melted.
  • Add salt and vanilla.
  • Gradually beat in confectioner's sugar and milk until creamy and fluffy. I beat this for at least 10 minutes. The longer you beat it, the better is tastes.
  • Makes enough to fill and frost 2 layers (about 2 1/4 cups of frosting).
