Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line two 8-inch or three 6-inch pans with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a standing mixer, whip butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in eggs one at a time, mixing between each addition. Add in vanilla extract.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Working in three batches, alternate pouring flour and buttermilk into wet ingredients until fully combined.

Step 4

Toss chocolate chips in 2 tablespoons flour, then gently fold into batter. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 20 minutes for 8-inch pans or 25 mins for 6-inch pans. Allow to cool completely while making frosting.

Step 5

To make frosting, whip butter on high speed until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add in powdered sugar and beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes more. Add in vanilla extract, salt, and milk if the frosting is too stiff.

Step 6

Frost each layer, then the outsides. Place in fridge while you melt ganache.

Step 7

To make ganache, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave in 30 second increments. Remove cake from fridge and drizzle with ganache!
