Ingredients
This Italian birthday cake recipe is easy to make and tastes amazing. You will need the following ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup butter, softened, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until combined. Add the vanilla extract, buttermilk, and sour cream, mix until combined. Slowly add the flour mixture, and mix until just combined. Finally, fold in the vegetable oil and mini chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
