Notes

This cake when assembled and frosted measures approx. 4 ½" high (with each cake layer being 2" tall).
When spraying the cake pans with baking spray, you can also add an 8" circle of parchment paper to the inside bottom of the pans.
While I didn't test the recipe this way, you can make this Chocolate Chip Cake as cupcakes. The baking time stays the same, but you will reduce your baking time to 18-20 minutes. The recipe will yield 18-24 cupcakes.
9/30/22 - The recipe has been retested/updated after hearing issues with chocolate chips sinking to the bottom.
