• Using stand mixer with flat (flex) beater or hand mixer, cream on medium speed: butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add vanilla, then beat in eggs one at a time.
• Lower speed and mix in the following ingredients until just combined: 1/3 of the flour mixture, then ½ the chocolate mixture, 1/3 of the flour mixture.
• Scrape bowl. Then add the rest of the chocolate mixture and the rest of the flour mixture.
• Stir in the remaining cup chocolate chips.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few crumbs.
• Allow cake to cool for 10 minutes.
• Place a cake platter over the pan and invert to release cake onto the platter.
• Whisk or use mixer to make glaze: Stir together butter, cocoa and half the confectioners’ sugar, then stir in milk.
• Add the rest of the sugar and stir until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cake when still slightly warm.

*To Make Your Own Buttermilk Replacement: Add 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice to a 1 cup measuring cup. Fill the measuring cup with milk. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes.
