1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a nine-inch cake round by spraying or buttering it.

2

Sift 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt into a large bowl and mix.

In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of room temperature unsalted butter, 3/4 cup of packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until smooth.

Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined.

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until almost combined.

6

Fold in 1 1/2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand until evenly distributed.

7

Press the cookie dough mixture into the prepared cake pan to form a flat layer.

8

Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top before baking.

9

Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until puffed and golden.

10

While the cake cools, prepare the chocolate frosting by creaming together 6 tablespoons of room temperature butter.

11

Sift together 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, then add to the creamed butter.

12

Mix in 2 tablespoons of milk and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
