Frost the top of the cake layer with about 1/3 of one of the frosting containers. Sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips on that layer.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help them rise evenly.
  • Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaking will make them dry. Check the brownies for doneness with a toothpick. When the toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, the brownies are done.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them set and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Top the brownies with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include chocolate chips, nuts, and whipped cream.
